The future of DirecTV (an opinion by Sound Signal)

[ouote]
When most (possibly all) standard definition signals leave DIRECTV in 2019, there’s a possibility that the Ku-band satellites which currently feed over 800 SD channels would have up to 32 HD channels instead. If that happens, the current generation of mobile and marine dishes would pick up those channels.
It’s also possible that we’ll see King, KVH, Intellian, Winegard, or another manufacturer put the money into a retrofit kit that would let you see the HD channels instead, even if it was only half of them at a time. (DIRECTV’s HD channels are on two different satellite locations.)
Or it’s possible that’s the end of your investment.
I doubt that very much, but anything could happen.
