If you have good credit Direct will not charge you any up front deposit. I never paid a cent.

Uhh I'm thinking that since the OP is asking about it, he's already had his credit run and come back with the deposit. If that's the case, then no, there is no way around it, you'll have to pay it. To avoid this in the future you have to improve your credit score. With the economy in the shambles it is, they aren't taking chances with getting stiffed on a bill from people with poor credit history.

I wonder what the margin is with people already under contract with Direct and lost their jobs and the credit rating is now in the toilet? I'm sure people are defaulting daily on paying for tv since roof, food, lights and heat are more important. Pay tv is a luxury that usually goes first, contracts just cause people in bad situations to default on them first.
