Satellite Subscription Service?

[Charlie Kokesh]

We have had our coach for four months now and are just getting around to subscribing to one of the satellite TV services.

Most of our travel is in the Western states particularly, TX, NM, AZ, NV, and CA. Can you recommend a particular service?

Nationwide, you can subscribe to programming by calling DirecTV at 1-800-347-3288 and USSB at 1-800-204-USSB. Depending on where you live, they may refer you to a local service provider. Be sure to tell DirecTV that your service is for a motor home and that you want the network channels. The networks are now available over the satellite system for RVs. If the telephone agent at DirecTV is uncooperative with your request for network programming, ask to speak to a supervisor.

WHEN YOU REQUEST THE NETWORK CHANNELS FOR AN RV, DIRECTV WILL SEND YOU A FORM TO FILL OUT WITH YOUR VIN# PLUS OTHER INFORMATION. BE SURE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT OTHER SERVICES YOU CANNOT RECEIVE IF YOU RECEIVE THE NETWORKS. WE WERE TOLD WE WOULD NO LONGER BE ABLE TO GET ALL PRO OR COLLEGE SPORTS SUBSCRIPTIONS. ASK THEM TO SEND YOU THEIR MOBILE VEHICLE AFFIDAVIT DECLARATION OF INTENT AND THAT'S ALL YOU NEED. GOOD LUCK.
