Has Directv gone to 75% streaming instead of cable or air

Most channels now default to streaming where recording is not allowed. Why?

Most likely your dish needs to be aligned.  DTV is a satellite service not cable or OTA.

DirecTV is service by satellite (not cable).

Defaulting to streaming (from On Demand, optional perk) might suggest you are having trouble receiving the satellite service (such as a dish alignment problem).

Describe how it "defaults" to streaming (symptoms, error message, etc.).

What model are your boxes?

Does this happen on each one?

What have you tried to fix the issue?

Any other problems?

Did anything change before this issue started?
