I say Rey, if we are voting
why you TRAITOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rant::rant::rant:
Bingo! There should be a law about being entered into a contract without your knowledge.
agreed
and involving you in a contract just because you replaced a defective dvr is also BS! i'm afraid to make any moves right now with D* on equipment or whatever. even if i was not going anywhere, there are just certain things that shouldn't require an extended commitment. i've always understood with dish and directv if i upgrade my equipment with them that this will involve me in a new contract. but the point is i decided to extend my commitment, not them without informing me.
If you have the protection plan they ''will not''
extend your contract.
Always get the coverage.
I found that with direcs DVRS the coverage has come in very handy.
Sorry not the best dvrs on the market these days..But they will do for the NFL ticket.
Seems strange to here that they are extending contracts on broken equipment. Maybe it was the fact that my H20-600 overheated & melted leaving me out of the auto-extension, but I'm not going anywhere anyway so no worries. I never knew the protection plan protected you from the extensions, thanks for the info.
it's posts like these http://www.satelliteguys.us/1972684-post45.html
that have me worried. yes i know i have no plans to go anywhere anytime soon but tying down folks to contracts over remotes or other accessories is ridiculous. right now i'm not sure if by the end of the year i'll have a job. what if i can't pay?i would have to come up with a ridiculous amount of money to pay my way out of a contract i never agreed to in the 1st place. and before anyone says "you should be aware of what actions will result in a new or extended contract" i am well aware of what triggers a contract. but some of the excuses D is using to extend contracts is unacceptable.

before making any moves always double check with directv. we know that replacing defective equipment without a protection plan will trigger a contract, upgrading or adding new receivers or dvrs will trigger a contract. even adding an old dvr or receiver will trigger a contract which i find ridiculous.
Replacing leased equipment will (should) not result in a contract extension, neither will buying a remote or AM21. Replacing an owned receiver that died without the protection plan WILL result in a new contract extension.
That is completely not true, last December I had my third H-2Xgo bad and had to add on the service plan to get someone out to fix it ( still in my first year of contract ). Three months after replacing it I had to deal with a billing issue and that was when I found out that they (Directv) had extended my contract an additional year. I have had to call three times now to get this corrected on my account so that I can end service in February 10 instead of December 10.
