thanks for your replies. i wanted to turn a receiver on and off like i did with dish as we don't use it that much. i just signed up with directv and got an sd dish and receiver to use in the rv. now i have to decide if it's worth having for a month and pay for the whole year. i don't want to mess with the dvr, hd, multi sat, etc.when i'm on the road.
I've heard that AT&T has made a deal to buy DirecTV, and that to get in line with AT&T, DirecTV is adapting their customer support to be more Company oriented and less customer oriented.
Just called Direct, and was told no we don't offer that, and this was after talking to 4 different people. Have a dome satellite on the coach that is set up for direct, which the previous owners had.
Read recently that Direct now offers a month to month plan like Dish. If you have Direct at home, why not simply take the receiver from home and avoid paying for an extra receiver?
