I tried to watch RFD TV on my Direct TV this morning and got a message "Channel not available”. I called and they had changed RFD TV to a different satellite and my dish will have to be replaced with an oval dish. The cost is going to be $24.50 which is half price. There is also a $14.95 charge for something. If anyone is missing this channel and has the old 18” dish you will probably have to have the new dish. I think they should have warned their customers in advance of a change like this.

I think you have to have the oval dish because it can receive more that one satellite.

Yea, me too. this is the way it was a year or two ago. Buddy of mine gripped enough a couple of months ago and they upgraded him (antenna and receiver) at no charge. Course he had to renew his 1 year commitment.

Still getting the channel, it just says "Regular Schedule" on the show information. Have the round Direct TV dish on the roof. Probably SOMEBODY wtching too many horsey shows and tying up the signal.. Durnnit, another quarter, Harley
