We had Direct TV for almost 5 years and never heard of this. Sounds fishy to me.

Did you actually lose your signal or did some scammer from Nigeria tell you it was going to happen if you didn't send the money ? Like Fred I smell something fishy.

Some how that does not sound legal.Are you saying that one minute you have signal and the next minute its gone and you have to pay $ 75.00 to get it back? Who do you pay the money too.Direct TV or your Sat guy. I still think something is fishy.

John,
While we don't have our mobile set up yet on Direct TV, we have been dealing with them on our home systems for about 6 or 7 years. I've NEVER heard of them doing anything like that. And, reading 3 different forums, I've NEVER heard of anyone else complaining about Direct TV doing that.
I suspect that your mobile satellite people are jerking you around, but I don't know why they would. Unless they want to stick you with service calls.
Not complaining here, so please don't take offense, but please use some punctuation in your posts. It helps us better understand what it is that you are trying to say.
Also, since I don't really know too much about the mobile aspect of using Direct TV, can anyone inform me as to whether one has to pay an additional fee for changing of the DNS for the broadcast channels? Could this be part of the issue that John is having?

Contact Direct TV -directly and let them know what has happened. I agree that this is fishy. I have had direct tv at home for 10 years and in the coach for 5 and have never heard anything like this.
