My KingQuest crashed. I need a new one but hearing all the talk about AT&T eliminating SD does anybody know if the King Quest will work if I have to change to a HD receiver? The one I have if the H24 which is not HD from what I understand. ------------- 2017.5 RPod 179 2017 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 Off Road Crew Cab 2 Weiner dogs Great wife puts up with my BS ❤️ Thoroughbred Racing.

I use direct tv now. No dish, no nothing. It does require a hotspot to watch it on the pod t.v., but if you have a tablet, or phone it works on cell service ------------- 2017.5 Rp-172 2020 R-pod 195 2015 Frontier sv 4.0L 6cyl I'll be rpodding |

That might be part of it but what I saw specifically said they would eliminate SD broadcast on their satellite. ------------- 2017.5 RPod 179 2017 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 Off Road Crew Cab 2 Weiner dogs Great wife puts up with my BS ❤️ Thoroughbred Racing.

I also use AT&T and always though the antenna was a waste.. Did look at replacing it with a Yagi at one point, yet never really even required that.. Now all my home and travel internet/TV/cell is from AT&T. I have debated mounting a Yagi at the house, yet again.. not required! ------------- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJduGeZNFgtptH67leItRFQ - Byways no Highways 2017 Tacoma http://tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=72408 - Truck Camper Build 2004 F150 My Overlander |

I can get DirecTV on my phone and tablet but cannot cast it to the TV without WiFi. I am going to look at WIFI for my Pod since I have it on my truck. This stuff is all fairly new to me. ------------- 2017.5 RPod 179 2017 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 Off Road Crew Cab 2 Weiner dogs Great wife puts up with my BS ❤️ Thoroughbred Racing.

Just get hot spot added to your phone. I use a fire stick and i create a hotspot. I can watch anything I want, I have like 60 or more channels, Hbo, starz, and cinemax. I also get prime, and full internet access to watch youtube, or some of those "other" type movies. I use att now at home as well. So one package follows you everywhere, home or away. ------------- 2017.5 Rp-172 2020 R-pod 195 2015 Frontier sv 4.0L 6cyl I'll be rpodding |

Will the hotspot work if WIFI is not available. Most of the time my iPhone is on 5G when we camp. I have chrome cast but could not get it to connect ------------- 2017.5 RPod 179 2017 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler 2017 Chevy Colorado Z71 Off Road Crew Cab 2 Weiner dogs Great wife puts up with my BS ❤️ Thoroughbred Racing.

Att Direct tv now is a cell service, and does not even use data. No wifi is needed, you just need a cell signal. You set up a hotspot from the phone, And connect to the firestick. It works awesome. ------------- 2017.5 Rp-172 2020 R-pod 195 2015 Frontier sv 4.0L 6cyl I'll be rpodding |
