My buddy with Direcdtv has an older 2004 Southwind with the older style crankup dish with the older style SD receiver and the original analog TV. The system works fine for him, but if the news is true, He's going to have to invest in new equipment. He tried calling Directv and couldn't get thru to anyone with information. Has anyone heard about them ending SD and any suggestions what to do? He's not going to spend $1,200 on a dish.
At this point you don't need to do anything. The latest information from DirecTV is that they will not end SD service until early 2020.
While you will need an HD receiver when this change happens, your current antenna (or dome) will be able to receive HD programming. What is currently unknown is which channels will be broadcast from the 101 satellite but there's still plenty of time to find out.
