I've heard rumors that DirecTV is terminating many retailers nationwide if their churn is 1.5% and above, does anyone have information about that? I know of 2 retailers in IN that were shot down. Is this just a rumor or truth?

Thats not very friendly now. :nono:

As to the OP's question. I haven't heard or seen anything on the dealer site. However, I would guess that each retailer has performance numbers in their respective contracts that they must meet. So with times being tough, some may not be making their numbers.

No Biggie,

Retailers have been squeezed enough. They are quitting or being forced out. More and more, if you want to comtinue with DTV in any way you will be working with an HSP and DTV.

Many just pack their tent............the north pointing dishes continue, damn compasses!
