I think I mentioned they would tell you that but it's highly likely not true. If it's not physically broken it should still be able to pick up the 101 satellite. It's most certainly broken if you are a Dish customer but many folks with domes of that era are still picking up DTV.
Now, you have nearly 10 year old antenna so it's had a good life and putting it to pasture is not a bad idea. Just don't replace it with anything that costs a lot. The DTV signal may well disappear in 2019 for all dome users but there is still no direct clarification on this issue from DTV. The current 101 satellite is out of fuel and something is going to be placed there.....but what?
Take a look at a stationary dome ($600 range) or save your pennies for a good antenna like a Trav'ler.
