How to receive our att/directv on rv travels

I asked this to a directv tech person before the official att merge this past year.

Happy Superbowl Sunday 2019! For the U200 U. Verse package holders use Channel 630 or 1630. I was also told 1629, but is Off Air. Channel 643 is showing many highlights. Safe travels everyone.

Question

You want everyone else to pay for the channels you want. That is greed and entitlement right there. Safe travels and just remember no TV provider is immune so you could go through something similar again.

Either way we pay. We either pay out of pocket or we pay by not being able to view our favorite programs...I would rather pay out of pocket. Get your collective crap together and sign the contracts.

I don't care how much DIRECTV agents want to tell you that the R22 uses the home WiFi for WHDVR because for as long as I have been experimenting with DIRECTV, the answer is always that it travels through coax. You either have bad splitters when shari

I will be using my home receiver (HR44) on the road in my RV while traveling in conjunction with a proper Swim portable dish. When I get to my "Vacation Property" where we park the RV and will be stationary for 3-5 months, each year, is there any way that Directv will allow us to have the "Local"

bogo14, Bob is spot on. The basic DECA system connects each of your receivers to each other to facilitate MRV, the MRV signal never travels through your router. Then, there is one additional DECA adapter that will connect the basic DECA network to yo
