Add used DSR708

[km2577]

Currently have 4 D-10 boxes and would like to switch a D-10 box with a DVR model DSR708. What steps do I take to accomplish this? Card,DVR service fee,etc

Edited to add: DSR708 is currently in use at relatives house and the D-10 will go back to said relatives house as replacement. So we are swapping boxes.

Thanks in advance

Make sure both accounts are paid up to date and deactivate both receivers. Call directv and tell them the dsr708 is a receiver you would like to add to your account. No need to tell them any history on the receiver. Just activate it with the card that came with it. Then turn on DVR services ($5.99/mo). That should do it.

D* is not going to let him do this, as they "normally" do NOT let you take used cards from one person's account to another . BUT, it can still be done....

AFTER you guys deactivate each of these receivers, swap the 2 access cards between the 2 units, THEN call D* & just tell them you are putting different equipment on the card & have them remarry the new receiver to the old card. By doing this, you also WON'T get stuck with a new 1 or 2 year committment.

To be safe, do NOT try & do this transaction on 1 phone call; do it on 2 separate phone calls.

Thanks Guys -

Am I right to assume a phone line will need to be connected to remarry the card to the box. I currently do not have any phone lines connected but I could insert one if needed.

Nope, makes NO difference whatsoever...
