Unfortunately I am moving to an apartment complex that will not allow Direct TV so I need to cancel my service. Has anyone been able to avoid the termination fee? I am a year short of my two year committment, however I have referred several customers to Direct TV and have been very happy with the service. Do they ever wave this fee?
i once canceled about a year ago and they waived it for me but i don't know if they're a little tighter now on these things. just call and ask. i know it's obvious but it's the sure way to know.

It looked when I glanced over the forums that you started this thread, and I thought Man he just signed up, had me worried, we joined the party at the same timethought you were bailing already! how is your service working so far, are you happy? (not to derail this tread)

Can you just say that you're moving to Canada? Seems like it would be pretty rough if they said "We're charging you an additional $150 because we're not allowed to provide you with service when you're forced to leave the country".
So to get back on topic, the FCC Fact Sheet assumes that you own the property the antenna is being mounted on, such as home that has homeowners association docs that prohibit outside antennas (as does mine). I used that to put up both my D* antenna and OTA antenna, telling the Association that they could not prohibit it by law and quoted that fact sheet.
Does anyone know how *d prorates the termination fee? I know it starts at 300 for hd but the contract says it's prorated. I would assume that would mean 300 if you cancel the month after install, and a little less each month till 24 months. I wondered if it's a set amount each month.
Personally, I would keep the set up until you know for sure that you cannot use it.
There are many pages about ways to use D* on a balcony and running cables...
Q. How does the cable TV lines come inside, sometimes they are ran ahead of time thru the walls, but not always, see it the cable goes thru the outside walls, if so you can sometimes use the same hole to run your D* line.

Mike, the issue becomes one of the fact that if he's renting he doesn't own the building and doesn't have the "right" to mount an antenna or run any cables into his apartment without the landlord's approval. Most landlords don't easily let you punch holes in their buildings, but some will allow it so he should check his lease and talk to the landlord.
ANother option that I've seen in a number of apartments and condos (again where you don't own the exterior wall -- part of the common areas and require approval from the association) is that many people put their dishes on the balcony and mount them in a way that leaves no damage when they're removed. If you don't have the SW exposure, then, that idea doesn't work real well.
