Standard definition ‘SDTV” from DTV will come to an end. Not sure when. I have it in my house and just take a receiver from the house. Direct told me about 2 years ago they did not have standard receivers anymore and if I wanted one would have to find one fron a contractor or other source. I bought one from a furniture store who installed direct. A friend changed over to high definition. He bought a new traveler antenna, near $2000, and had a contractor install the rest of the equipment in his motor home and his house. Do not know his total cost but it was big. I may give up sat TV in the motor home as I am not going to spend high $’s for the few months s year we are in the coach.
