There is another funny phenomenon associated with Direct TV service calls.
I was in Crystal River FL. I was willing to pay the $50 service call for someone to come out to Rock Crusher Canyon RV Park.
Direct TV said they do not service portable dishes.
Now this kind of made sense at the time since their closest "official" Direct TV installer was in New Port Richey, FL, a good 50 miles or away. Paying them a flat $50 for a service call that required a 2-hour round trip drive of 100 miles or more would not make sense.
But I found out later that there was local outfit who would have come out. I do not know if this was a subcontracting arrangement with the Port Richey Direct TV outfit, or what. Maybe I would have had to pay him cash rather than have the charge put on my bill.
Anyway, if you are in a RV park and need someone to come out, and Direct TV can't/won't help, then ask around. There is probably someone local who can fix your problem.
