We signed up with DirecTV at FMCA Convention in mid-August; as we're Fulltimers, RV waiver faxed to get E&W distant networks.
Then it started.
Got East (because our credit card billing address is OHio); but NOT West. The FCC had proposals- NOT legislature etc) and DirecTV said supposedly no matter what we were SOLD we could only get East.
Several calls later, including a discussion of cancelling- when we were told we'd have to fulfill the contract of programming- about $400. We did NOT cancel; however, THEY cancelled us! More calls and explanations etc; they cancelled their cancellation and we FINALLY got Tech to program West feeds. This was sometime in Sept. (We said we didn't care it not being HD etc.)
We did return (after scanned & copy kept) the PostCard- which had a very tiny encrypted code of our info.
NOTE: the PostCard does NOT show your name, address, account etc.
Either Tues or Wednesday, West is not on our guide.
We called DirecTV and we were informed we weren't eligible for both E&W.
TOO bad! Postcard didn't matter!
VERY aggravated!
NO ONE can give us the FCC Ruling and Dates. Searches have only indicated there have been Proposals made to restrict receiving both E&W- to customers not grandfathered.
