All valid points I guess -- So all these people selling these receivers on ebay, they are going to get screwed when DTV calls and asks them, where's our receiver that you were leasing? That seems crazy to me that people would be that dumb to sell a leased receiver that is tied to them but I...

I don't suppose anyone would know a way I could as a new customer this week have them swap that Standard receiver out for another HD one for free? Any suggestions? I don't really feel like paying the $99 for a receiver I barely watch but when I DO watch it, it would sure be nice to not be...

That's a bummer. So unless the person selling says they are 100% sure that the unit is bought and paid for and their feedback is good, proceed with caution huh. Even if it looks like a private seller and not a company/dealer, DTV might still say it's a leased box. Then again, what's to keep...

If I buy an HD receiver and access card from ebay from a private seller (not a company who states there is a lease), can DirecTV still claim I do not own the receiver if I want to turn around and sell it myself somewhere down the line? I hate the idea of paying $100 to add an HD receiver to my...

Thanks again for the info. I wish I would have known more up front as I would prefer to definitely have an HD receiver with ethernet especially if it's going to allow me to do DVR in other rooms. That bums me out. Does anyone think if I called about the H20 they could swap me out for an H21...

One more question while I think about it - If I wanted to just buy an HR21 on ebay, how likely is it that DTV will still consider this a "lease"? If I can buy it outright and then resell it if I ever wanted to, that would be more worth it to me than giving DTV $99 more and still paying a $5 a...

Thanks to everyone for the replies. I didn't look too closely at the SWM splitter in the wall. There are 2 boxes, the one with all the cables coming out, and a second unit that just needed to be at any of the TVs. That one just has a single in and a single out. But I suppose that does...

Okay, here's the report for anyone interested. Also some questions if anyone has a moment to answer. Installer came today and took down old dish from 8 years ago, installed new 3 LNB slim oval dish. I am getting my HD locals just fine. New cable runs inside were not needed since I already...

Thanks Joe - I'll certainly report in. When I had DirecTV a few years back I had two RG6 wires running from the dish into the house, into a multiplexer, and then 4 wires that ran out (2 to the DVR set, 1 to the downstairs set, 1 to the bedroom set). All 4 wires are still in place except the 2...

Thanks for the quick reply. I assume I am also getting the $18 or the $23 off a month as a new customer and I don't see that either, but that one is pretty automatic these days right? Guess I find out with the first bill - Though I see some saying that credit takes a couple billing cycles to...

I called with AAA discount and referral promos, can anyone tell me if they got them on there right? The order I see when I login on the website is a bit unclear (or does it not show online?). I am hoping to sign up some family members for more referrals, are there any other credits anyone...

Hey folks -- I am quite excited as I have an installer on the way on Wednesday to hook up my new DTV system. I was a customer of theirs when I first moved in but switched to cable. I do have an old dish out on the house still but the cable guy brazenly cut the cables I had left from it running...
