'I also have DirecTV on my Sahara, but with an HD system. Have not received any notice similar to this. My service was purchased through CostCo. Maybe it's because my RV and home are on the same contract?

'GaryBecause of the DirecTV DNS (Distant Network Station) rules, (aka: contractual obligations), see: https://www.att.com/esupport/article.html#!/directv/KM1102671?gsi=6d1v02, I was only allowed to recieve DirecTV programing with the equipment ON/IN my coach.I suspect IF you have a "satellite dome antenna" on your coach it will soon go dark.

Re: Demise of DirecTV for RVs?
'DwayneI did talk to DirecTV at the number they provided.
During that 4 hour phone call I was transferred to 7 different departments, and told many different things.What resulted was loss of some channels (because they changed my programing package), and an offer of a $60 a month for a year "loyalty discount".However when this months invoice arrived it did include a "loyalty discount"... but of only $29.99 a month and for only 3 months.
