OK, so I called again asking them how to cancel my service. The Indian CSR transfers me back to a US CSR. To be considered a "new" member, I cannot have service for 1 year. A "returning" customer is one coming back after 180 days.
Then I ask about the DHPP and she says as long as I commit to 18 months, it will be waived. But now, I have to continue paying my $5.98 DVR Service Fee which I thought I read was part of the DVR Advantage pack.
Maybe I've been thinking too hard and long about this that I'm not thinking straight any longer. I'm going to start over in the morning from square one with a clear mind.
