Please Directv, what is going on Rant

[DD716TED]

It now appears as though Directv has me in a position where I tell them goodbye or agree to another two year commitment regardless of what they decide to do with 101/SD next spring! My older HD oval antenna on the house is causing problems and needs to be upgraded with the newer SWM antenna and newer receivers. I also have an 18 inch oval antenna on my shop/account which feeds the DTV SD vcr receiver in my shop. This receiver along with a Winegard Carryout travels in the trailer with us when camping. In order to get the newer equipment in the house, I have to agree to a two year extension.. When I asked DTV about the future of the SD / 101, they seem to know nothing or are not saying anything. DTV says regardless of the SD issue, and even if I lose it, I must remain with them for two more years after the upgrade or pay their early termination penalty / fee. They won't guarantee continued SD service for the RVer, but have no problem with an early termination fee even if the SD portion of your service is gone.. What a business Plan... Just a Rant and am not seeking solutions but saying goodbye to DTV and the NFL Package after 23 years and moving Dish might be worth investigation.. THIS IS JUST A RANT OF MINE and frustrated that no one at ATT/DIRECTV seems to care about those that have supported them for years..

We had DTV on the house, dumped it and sold the dish to a local electronics guy. The receiver sat on the roof for a year. Finally took it off.

I just signed up for directvnow, to see how it goes on the road, I have the mobley and att unlimited plan and get it for 25 dollars a month, set it up with my Amazon tv boxes, hope it works on my trip to Nebraska, I have had a brand new dish tailgater set up and wally in the MH that I never have used,

I just dumped Directv after 20 some years for Dish. ATT is not customer friendly. I have a carryout I have been using for the rv. I only got standard def with Directv, I can change the dp switches to get HD on Dish. For the house I got the hopper 3 and 3 Joeys, 2 of which are wireless.
Dish has a deal on now with discounts for 2 years.

It is becoming more and more evident that ATT does not give a hoot about their present DirecTV customers. I had a problem with not receiving the movie channels I pay extra for and they wanted to send a tech out at $99. I told them I am not paying $99 to have a tech find out why I am not getting the channels I pay extra for. I told them I might have to cancel my service after being a customer for 15 years and go with cable. There answer was OK should I shut it off right now?

I think the dtv and dish should got the way cable has gone, no contracts

I feel your pain with all the rumors flying about regarding DTV. I have been a dtv customer for close to 25 years and while I'm all upgraded at home, the rv has a old Datron auto dish(still working) and I have a King Dome in motion and of course a portable dish all set up for standard def.
I really don't know what to do at this time.....I'm really considering switching to Dish for the simplicity of it all. Is dtv going to ever have a in motion HDTV? It seems Dish HDTV is ahead of the curve with correct Satellite positioning and easier in motion domes.

I'm really a loyal customer but feel as though its going to cost a small fortune to keep dtv on the roof. Guess ill be waiting to see!
