- Bill_SatelliteExplorer III 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. - claywayExplorerUpdate!
I spoke to King Dome today & the tech I spoke with was helpful, however my 2008 unit is obsolete & cannot be repaired. They did offer me a fair deal on a new upgraded unit
Thanks for all the responses - Mile_HighExplorerI've never gotten any help from Dish on the RV. It takes an hour of canned nonsense from the tech before he admits he can't help with an RV.
- donkeydewExploreri have gotten a lot more help on my king dome's from dish than king dome. you get a state side tech you will be amazed at their trouble shooting ability.

You have never been able to receive HD with a dome and DirecTV. Nothing has changed there. I would expect your call to King Dome will end with you being told that the changes Dish made has rendered your KD unusable. However, many are using their King Dome (all domes) successfully today with the DirecTV service.
correct as what I said also - Mile_HighExplorer
