Standard definition channels

Yes, it should be free to upgrade to newer HiDef equipment and satellite dish. Call DirecTV to verify.

DirecTV has been in the process of shutting down their MPEG-2/SD-only channels and going to the MPEG-4/SD and HD capable broadcasts. Though would suspect one day SD anything will be gone, but no hard info on that end.

What are the models of each box you have? Best to get guidance before calling DirecTV to see what kind of MPEG swap or upgrade might be best for your exact setup.

Yes it is free and they will upgrade you to genie and also upgrade your dish if it is not new enough, also if you don’t want genie or dvr tell the you don’t want the genie and you want the hr24 or h25 h25 is normal he and hr24 is hddvr

call 1-800-531-5000 to schedule your "free" upgrade and see if your site can receive eth HD Signals 

Make sure the order is setup as a swap and not an upgrade, the swap is free with no commitment. Read the order confirmation immediately to make sure it's a swap offer.

urgent channel 90 

@j_cat 

Those who have MPEG-2/SD-only equipment are getting the urgent message. DirecTV is shutting down those feeds so they are warning you to get your equipment replaced before it is just a brick.

What are the models of each box you have? 

THE pine trees are on my property line . the trees are 100 ft .tall...

my property person is not dropping the trees . 

I was doing the  year 2004 and now the SD RCA DRD486RH .. the sat dish is changing it to move it over the years  .. then the trees are  the sat dish SD ,  is the small optical very small area...

the satellites are 3 and the optical area is not working ..

 I was the SD  is DTV dropping it ...

did you do the  DIRECT TV SD dumping it ?

 THE URGENT CHANNEL 90 IS NOT ON MY SD RECEIVER ..

@j_cat 

Your post is very garbled. I'll try to make sense of it, but please post back carefully if I missed anything.

THE pine trees are on my property line . the trees are 100 ft .tall...

my property person is not dropping the trees . 

Are you saying trees are interfering with your signal? If so, then either the trees get trimmed or you get your dish relocated.

SD RCA DRD486RH

That is an extremely ancient MPEG-2/SD-only box. That means both it and your receiving dish will need replacing.

I was the SD  is DTV dropping it ...

did you do the  DIRECT TV SD dumping it ?

DirecTV is shutting down the MPEG-2/SD-only feeds. This means your old equipment will soon not work as is no longer compatible. DirecTV stopped offering SD-only service in 2015. Technologically speaking, it is an HD world now.

THE URGENT CHANNEL 90 IS NOT ON MY SD RECEIVER

The model you posted is an SD receiver. It is so old it shouldn't be mixed with HD equipment, even on an older HD setup. If that is not the box getting the error, what are the models of your other boxes?

If there is no LOS with the HD dish then you are out of luck and you will need a new provider.

yes that HD dish is those pine trees look it up of the sat 3 ...

also the Dish network no sat ...area ..

I was doing the fios Verizon ...of the internet ...probably the Verizon TV doing my  cables and then the person in the house in the software issue .. 

 I was also Verizon was not doing the agreement  using it and dropping it .. 

Comcast is a mess ........... 

@j_cat 

Pine trees in the way of the HD signal. You cannot continue with DirecTV. Must plan to switch providers.

You cannot receive Dish Network in you area. Since they and DirecTV are the only satellite TV providers that means no satellite TV for you anymore.

You say Comcast is a mess. Many will agree.

Have absolutely no idea what you are saying about Verizon or how a person could be in a software issue. I suspect English is not your first language. If that is the case, I would suggest asking someone you know to translate for you.

I did the Verizon internet did it 2 yrs .. is the great internet ....

so I was the TV Verizon ,,  is the dropping the DIRECT TV  RCA DRD486RH RECEIVER ...

I was the east wind of those trees and 40 mph and higher the sat is doing the signals dropping it .....

I was the direct tv receiver D12-700 , and the metal case is not the venting ...damaged the components..

the RCA is the venting top and the bottom ..working great  ..no heating .. 

RCA is ancient receiver.

D12 is the last SD receiver.

You must update to a HD capable setup.

If you can't do anything about the trees then you will need to look into other TV providers.

Sorry but DirecTV can't continue to support your legacy setup.
