Used reciever

[bfallona]

My son ( living in NV) has a Direct TV receiver in the living room and bedroom. IF I buy him a used DVR can he use his old card in it? Or does he have to pay Direct $20 to marry it?

99% of the time you will need a new card.

like boba said 99% of the time you will need to, just be nice when you call and that usually helps, also its not against the law to keep trying when you dont get an answer you like

to the forums let us know how everything turns out.

I thought if you was already subscribed to Directv you could use a card that you was using from another receiver. That is what Directv told me.

depends on who you get, as They wouldnt let me do this, I had to call 5 different times before someone would remarry my access card.

Thanks for the replies, I also am guessing he will pay $4.99 a month lease?

yep, and if he does get it activated at own, it will not be a lease fee-but a 4.99 mirroring fee
