If you don't like Directv's answer Just buy one and call D* to add it to your account. You will learn an expensive lesson.

Unless you buy a box (IRD) from an authorized retailer on Ebay, you are hanging your butt out to dry.....If you find one you want, get the IRD # from the seller, call D* and they will check the account. If it is an owned box you can buy it (rare).

Go to Costco and get one for $159.00. Or, email DirecTV and see what kind of deal they will give you. I wouldn't take a chance with leased boxes on Ebay.

The answer is no .... will always be no. Selling a leased reciever is same as selling stolen goods.

We will not activate leased equipment.

Wildbill129 and sddtvtech are wrong in the sense the suggested sources won't sell you receivers they will lease you receivers.

Looking at Stone Cold I take the answer is NO
even when I call DTV they give me different answers.

So it is either buy a new one, owned, or one someone has never activated...

consumers should be fully advised that their purchases of DIRECTV receivers come with strings. They should not have to discover after paying hundreds of dollars for a receiver that their purchase is more like a rental, requiring continuous payments
