Genie and mini clients

[mr.crane]

I noticed on ebay a person selling genie and 2 clients. Is this legal, who ever buys it, will they not still have to pay the monthly leasing charges?

Yea, you can sell it, however it will be leased when activated

You would need to contact directv with the rid numbers and if they are "owned" then they can be activated under a different account, but you would still need to pay for programming. However with these being so new, i have serious doubts they are owned, the buyer would probably be buying doorstops.

So then you would still pay the $6.00 monthly lease fee, plus the 35.00 for the main Genie?

25 not 35 but yes, and if they were on a previous account they are still doorstops, so be sure to check, actually for a new install all that equipment would be included free right now anyway, i would only ebay "owned" directv receivers.

Good to know, my son just signed up with free nfl ticket etc. he got ultimate package. with main genie and
1 client. His install is Saturday. I would change, but I have a contract with Comcast, with a 250 penalty fee.

Call in and see if there is currently a promotion where dtv will pay your etf with comcast.

Never heard of that, has anyone really tried it? I have a 2 yr contract, in Dec it will only be 1yr. Only reason I got it was because of the Internet Blast.
I wish there was another alternative for Internet. U verse, is kind of expensive and it only gives you 1.5mp download. with blast I get 30mps.

Im fairly posotive you can downgrade your service to internet only, or cdv+chsi only and not break you contract with comcast. I could be wrong now, but i know this did used to be the case. Although it would be a new promotion and price point. Id keep your internet with comcast anyhow.

As for directv paying your etf, yes they occasionally advertise doing this, doesnt hurt to call in and ask.

Yes, I would like to keep internet, but it will most likely cost a arm and leg

Supermod, will look into that 200 dollar debit card.
