    DirecTV Contracts

    There are a couple issues here that determine if you should have a new commitment. 1. If the used rcvr was on your account previously then there is no question you do not have a new commitment. 2.

    Can D take away my distants?

    Don't do anything, you have not moved. If you have waivers for the location changing the address for 911 purposes will not change your situation.

    Can Ebay bought receivers still be activated as owned?
