The free SD receiver upgrade deals are available if your friends still have SD locals on 119.

But not yet if they're exclusively on 101 that I'm aware of ....

Ok, then as I said I don't think there are any "free" upgade deals yet for SD receivers with SD locals exclusively on 101.

And at the current snail's pace SD locals are being removed from 119. It doesn't look like the removals from 101 are going to begin for perhaps another 2 years at least. ...

But you can always call DIRECTV and ask anyway ....

Tell them to call Directv and say they heard their receivers will no longer work in the future. If they don't get a free upgrade offer they can call back in six months and try again.

The plan was to have the old SD receivers obsoleted by the end of last year, but they had to push it back. It is probably sometime in 2021 now though if an exact date has been set I haven't heard it.

If they are running the business into the ground, why bother upgrading anyone at all

Yeah, it it doesn't make sense to upgrade if they're just gonna screw the service over a few years later.

To make as much money as possible before they pull the plug.
