Phone scam possibility
I just got a call from “Satellite Services” saying that my dish was misaligned and in 7-10 days I would no longer receive a signal.
I didn’t let it go further than that since I’ve never received a unsolicited call from Directv.
Is this a scam and if so, what did they hope to get?

most likely a scam
unless you have old mpeg2/sd equipment, which needs replacing asap

SCAM SCAM SCAM, direcTV would never call about something like this they have no way of knowing if it's misaligned unless YOU call in with technical issues. This scam us taking advantage of the mpeg 2 shut down that's currently in progress in some areas so customers with standard def equipment need to swap them for high def equipment. High def mpeg4 satellites are in a different position in the sky so the dish needs replaced too the new dish aims at the other satellites so they're saying your dish needs "realigned".
