Can you provide Receiver ID to check with DTV if the receiver can be activated and does it come with an access card?

You'll have to ask the seller about all that. It should come with an access card tho, mine did.

You will need a cablecard as.well as the coaxial cable to use this. You will also need a.computer to pit this card in. But after you have all of that and you activate the card you should be good to go.

No, you must purchase a new card from DTV. I think it's $20.00. Please be aware this DVR is for multi-family use only and gets the signal through ethernet, not coax. If you get your signal through coax, you cannot use this DVR.

The serial # won't always help. I found out the hard way. If the box belonged to someone with an outstanding acccount Direct TV wont give you the access card that you also have to pay for to get your box working. They'll make you pay any outstanding balance before selling you the code card with the microchip in it. My ebay bargain ended up in the garbage.

Yes, as long you're using an activated receiver on your account it will work. Just mount and install, then align the dish and if its properly aligned it will see your channels.

Beware! Almost all of the HR24 DVRs I found for sale on Amazon and eBay could not be activated. Unless you are buying or leasing from an authorized DirecTV reseller it's probably stolen. Stolen equipment shows up on Amazon all the time. Before you buy, get the Receiver ID (RID) and call DirecTV access card department. They can tell you if the receiver can be activated on your account.

Believe it only works with standard receiver box. Call winegard or direct tv customer service.

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

on the back of the unit, there is a serial number and an R number (I think). have the seller send you a pix of the back of the unit. You will need those 2 numbers to contact Directv and they can tell you if this is a unit that can be activated.

These clients don't have the traditional activation cards that Directv receivers use. The cliient is easy to connect to your system. You'll choose "add client" from the receiver menu and follow on screen instructions. In my case, I was prompted to call Directv to activate the client. 10 minute phone call, and all worked flawlessly.

No, the account is not delinquent but it's not a new receiver and you will have to get a new access card. I bought receivers before but this is the first time that I had to replace the access card. The last time Directv used the card that was in the receiver and just reprogrammed it.

Every new Directv new receiver comes with a virgin access card which is ready to be activated once your system dish is aligned properly and you call DTV to activate your unit.

Yes, it can be activated with directv, they will walk you through the necessary steps (free of charge) or they will send someone out (serve charge).

Call the number provided on the screen. They will want the Serial on the receiver as well as the included smart card #. Super easy installation!

As a standard equipment delivery from DTV depot or equipment suppliers, yes. But for private transaction from a former subscriber, it depends and you have to confirm and clarify.

No access card port. You have to call Directv and pay about 6 bucks a month for it to work.
