We heard from a customer that it was working great then their locals
stopped working because Directv said they were out of market. Of course we
didn't change anything and it was normal on our end.

Since it's not our service and everything except their locals was working,
we told them to escalate to Directv and we haven't heard back. Not sure if
it's fixed or not.

Hey Dan, just an FYI we had a client indicate issues with previously
working DirecTV service suddenly stop working last month because DirecTV
was geolocating their customer to the wrong state. There was some errant
whois information likely to blame for this, but the WHOIS information
had been unchanged for years. Seems like DirecTV may have changed their
geolocation provider or their granularity (locating to city or state
level rather than country/region).

Are there any DirecTV Now contacts on-list? We are having geolocation
trouble with a well established ip range.
