That's the way I do it, I have a separate dish and old SD receiver 400 ft from the main house- Bought it all from E-bay and installed it myself- called DTV to add the receiver to my account- they did not know I had a separate dish.

I've spent over an hour on the Directv portion of the ATT website- all there is, is package/plan info- my profile etc. Heck, I can't even see my current plan, or what I pay per month. If I search for "my equipment" it brings up my 6 cell phones and wants them upgraded (I do have ATT as my cell...

I am not sure now- without pulling them out to look. Two of them are away from home- mobile use now. I do know they use the white remotes if that helps. Used to be I could go on Directv's website and look at my equipment- but now that they have combined with ATT, I have searched everywhere...

Well, the installer was here today- he upgraded my receiver that had to have it. He never asked about any other receivers. He mounted my new oval dish and handed me the new receiver. I was able to take it inside and hook it up and he was able to activate it with his phone while he sat in his...

They wanted to create another account (at the same address) to do the proper upgrade- because no one needs four dishes- the upgrade is only for "Whole Home" use which includes a Genie and a mini that somehow feeds off a Genie in the same house- which I don't do. They were going toput me in for a...

My RCA model receiver that is said to go blank on 8/25 is a DRD435RH receiving signal from 101A. satellite according to my on screen system info. The tech said she just learned this herself- she had been trying to put in the computer for an upgrade for all my receivers- but the three other...

Update: Just got off phone with Tech Assist at DTV- only my RCA unit will lose entire service on 8/25. The loss of service is receiver model dependent. But most all other old receivers will lose ONLY LOCAL CHANNELS by end of year 2020. So an entire upgrade is NOT needed since I don't...

I have a family with several needs, more like wants- including a 91 yr old M-I-L in remote living quarters (mobile home/house trailer to me). One receiver is in camper, another in remote barn. The units are not close enough to use dual LNBs on the same dish. Plus, I rarely have time to watch...

I have 4 receivers, 4 dishes and four LNBs all spread out over my 80 acre farm

Here's the story- I installed 4 satellite systems in/around 1995 around my complex- All have their own dishes and receivers etc- and all are on my same account. I started getting e-mails awhile back, that I would have to upgrade my systems to HD or lose my local channels. I figured- so what...
