I'm an E* sub, but my parents have been with DirecTV since the PrimeStar days, so I'm not to sure how things work with DirecTV.
A few years back they purchased one of the RCA (TiVO) DVR's, but recently it has started giving up the ghost.
They are looking to replace it, but it seems everywhere we look the vendors only sell the receivers as "Lease Upgrades." Since they've always owned their receivers they are very hesitant to suddenly have to pay $100, plus a monthly lease fee for something they won't own.
Is there anyplace that sells DirecTV receivers outright to own, either stores or online? I'd like to help them out. TIA.
