Will directv charge hd fees if i buy this?

The answer, unfortunately, is only if you "subscribe" to the HD channels. So if you already have HD then, no there is no additional fee, but if you do not have HD then yes it will cost more to add them. The HD is just like HBO or any other subscription channel(s). Hope this helps.

Yes, contact Directv with the s/n and they can tell you if it is available for reactivation

I called directv and set it up. Pretty minimal monthly charge- I think it's $10/mo or less.

This is a classic case of buyer beware. Dish is as shady as any other service provider, so expect anything. They even told me, when I tried to activate a 722K, that their records showed my purchased unit to be a rental, so they were going to charge me a monthly fee for it. If it's dishformyrv.com that wants to collect the $90, I would bypass them and go straight to Dish Network, but be prepared to prove the purchase. Dish will probably activate the receiver for free, because they make their bucks off the monthly service fees. Dish will push, but they can be shoved back. I returned a 611 rental receiver, and Dish charged me $350 to replace it, claiming that I caused the failure. I told them where to put their monthly service fees, and they backed down and returned my money. You have to be your own consumer advocate with these people.

I bought and own this box along with the tailgater dish and i am not charged the $7 monthly fee. It is for dish network.

Yes!!!!! They charge the regular receiver rate. Plan on calling them when you hook it up too. Otherwise it won't function. Also if you are going to purchase this to replace a box you must return the box you are replacing. You are better off buying a genie through directv.

It should. I am using Directv with HD (no DVR) and have had no issues. I would try and call the manufacturer to be sure before buying. But it is a great product and very easy to set up.

The 39.99 fee is to turn a regular receiver into a DVR when an external HD is attached. The fee also unlocks a feature on DVR receivers to have expanded storage with an external drive. It's a one time fee, and for those with a non-DVR receiver, they pay the fee once and have no monthly dvr fee.

Yes. I just signed up on my roommates account and I think they said it would be 11 extra dollars: 5 or 6 bucks for the tivo service and then the fee for an extra receiver in the house. The first person I talked to said I'd have to pay $21 because he was going to charge $10 for hd even though I didn't want hd. When I called back the second person said that wasn't necessary. Once everything was set up I still got hd channels showing up but the channels were black screens. Even if you don't sign up for hd they will show up on this receiver. Fortunately there are ways to get rid of these stations in settings. Obviously something you don't need to worry about if you do want hd. Yes.

No. I have three of these. I bought my last one two months ago. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone. I have to keep pressing the buttons hard to get it to work. All the money I spent on these cheap ones, I could have used to buy one from Directv.

I am not selling or sending any DTV receiver. Receiver ID is located either on the bottom or rear surface of the receiver box. If the access card is missing then DTV will get you a new one for $20 or $25 fee.Nick.

Yes I have direct tv and it works great, I recommenr that you purchase a sat. finder. I do not believe it will work with HD.

No, unfortunately Directv requires a 2 year agreement for any service they offer. There is a rumor that if you buy a receiver and persistently ask Directv to activate the service with no promotion, that eventually they will do it. Officially though, you need to a sign a 2 year agreement. You can put it in "hibernation" which means you can deactivate it seasonally but you need to ultimately pay for 24 months of service.

Yes it'll go to the HD channels no problem. But there is no decimal point on this remove, not quite sure what you are asking.

I was not told about the $99 charge after 3 years. If this is the case I recommend that you do not buy it. You can get something else or just hook up a fast internet line directly onto your TV.
