Receiver Activation

[wbuffetta]

I Am Thinking Of Getting A New D* HD STB From EBay. I Went To D*s Website
& Loged On To My Directv.
A Year Ago I Added A Sony HD200 On Line To My Account But Now I Can't Find
The Link.
Do I Have To Call D* To Add A Reciver Or Can I Add It Online?

Any Help Out There?

They took that off of their site. You have to call to activate new equipment now.

I Guess I Would Have To Of Called Anyway. I Will Have To Deactivate My 4.5 Yr Old
RCA DTC100.

Uh excuse me,

U can still add the reciever online.
when u log on to the website, click add or replace reciever link.

That link does no longer allow you to add an already purchased receiver to your account. Only give you the option to buy another receiver from DirecTV.

Carefull when buying pre-owned equipment, if the previous owner still has the card that is paired with that reciever active on his account then you will not be able to activate that reciever until he disconnects the card. (This only applies with recievers that have a RID/Reciever ID #)

It's A RCA DTC210
