    Deactivating a used directv hd receiver?

    The problem is that I was told I could activate the receiver before I purchased it. I still find it odd that DirecTV is not willing to contact the person who's account this stills shows active on. I paid $69.99 for the receiver. I do not like contracts. I have been a DirecTV customer for...

    Well, where to start? I called again and talked to Tech. Support Rep. They informed me that this receiver is active on another account since 2008 and it is the only receiver on their account.
