Moving without informing directv about change of address?
Saturday, August 16th, 2008Question: Hey guys, my brother who lives in S. Jersey currently has directv. He uses his friend’s address in NY as his service address, so he gets all the NY sports and locals. Problem for him now is that he is moving into a townhouse in Lower Merion, PA(right outside of Philly).
He needs someone to tell him whether or not his deck is in the right position to get a directv signal. If he can get it, he also needs an installer. Obviously, he can’t go through directv since his service address is in NY.
Any suggestions here?
Answer 1: You can probably google that, and I’d bet he can do the installation himself (it’s not a hard job).
Answer 2: Use a compass. If the deck faces south, he cool. You can mount the dish on a tripod on the deck for him, its pretty easy.
Answer 3: I believe google has a tool and from PA, it would be southwest. Essentially you shoot and point for texas. Also if he is moving, he should be able to call direcTV. Another train of thought is to call an install place directly, explain the situation, since it is just a dish install and some cabling they could do it for a fee, as they have all the tools. One of the best places to look for these installers is to look in the sunday paper, they always have ads looking to hire people.
