Suspending 1 Box
ADVERTS 1
Im pretty sure that it would need to be returned, but could anyone tell me for certain if it is possible to suspend service to a particular box on my account without sending it back to directv? Assuming I would want to reactivate it in the future.
Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return.
To obtain, something of equal value must first be lost.
That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange.
In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only truth.

Sure just call them and have them take it off. They won't want it back until you cancel all of them in my experience (taking 1 or 2 off at a time). Tell them you'll add it back later once XYZ happens.

I would think that you could call them, ask about suspending a box, your only gonna save $ 5 per month though.

Are you under contract with them at the time your suspending service ?Let the Urban Era Begin !!!

I think you'll be fine .... unless they say you can't suspend just one recvr, it would have to be the whole service, thats what I would think they might think if odd. Originally Posted by twizt3dkitty

You can suspend just one receiver; I've got an SD receiver that's been in a closet for over a year (since my initial install). My installer said people do it all the time with college kids who come and go and other situations like that.

FYI, I did this myself yesterday. They refused to deactivate the box without getting it back.
I don't anticipate needing it any time soon so I went ahead and had it deactivated and they're sending me a box to ship it back. BTW, as long as I had someone's attention I asked about any deals for current subs and got myself $5.00 off on HBO for six months.
