Well, I thought I bought a great DVR receiver for a good price...but what I notice here is that the DVR 522 can not be activated by me since I am not the "owner, or leasee". Is there nothing I can do? I just wanted to upgrade to a better reciever with DVR and dual receivers...Have I wasted my money...I don't know if the guy that sold it to me Monday will give my money back...I know he hasn't sent it yet and I paid him through PayPal and my Bank Account.....
As Simon correctly points out in that thread, they're not supposed to activate it for you. It has been standard policy to not do it for a while now, but apparently some people are still having luck getting it done. In a surreal twist, the guy that answered Simon's e-mail (and dodged the question) is actually the same person that activated a 522 for another member who posted in the thread.
So I guess you can follow the advice of some in that thread and just hope for the best. Good luck.
