If you just had DTV installed you have 14 days to get the free mini(s) buy calling DTV. After 14 days you have to buy them. Either way you have to activate them and pay the $6 fee for each mini's to work.

Dtv will charge you 6.00 just for thinking that question. It is an additional receiver for an additional tv, so yes 6.00 fee applies

Yes, they added the monthly fee after I called to activate the additional box.

yes... you have to let Direct TV know before it will work.. I tried hooking it up before calling and it did not work

I purchased an extra DirecTV remote for around $8 -- it works fine with this unit. I didn't NEED another one, but I didn't want to have play "find the remote."

Mine was "bent" when it arrived. It wouldn't work. If you have Direct TV you can have a second unit with no cost if you promise not to use both at the same time. No problem for me as we are either in one place or the other. You just have to move one of your units to the second location. With Direct you will need their "special" hook-up.It will not work otherwise.

Although you purchase the hardware, DirecTV still considers it a "lease" - and when activated, they will extend out your contract an additional two years - you will need to pay them the $6/mo fee to enable the service to these boxes.

Hi Loretta, It sure does and a lot more in the channel store. Obviously there is a monthly charge, just like Amazon, Netflix, and many others. There really are a ton of free channels too. Many can be found in the Roku channel store and a lot of "private channels" (channels not listed in the Roku channel store) can be found at sites such as:http://catastrophegirlsrokuchanneldata.blogspot.com/ I dumped my $100.00/month cable company and never looked back!

I don't have direct TV but I would assume that they would have to program the remote for you. I have AT&T; U-verse and haven't had any problems

Your options to add an additional client (mini Genie) to your existing Genie system are these:1. You pay DirecTv $100 for another C41 & an additional $50 to have a tech come into your home & install it-OR-2. You purchase a C41 on Amazon for a fraction of the cost & install it yourself.In both cases, you will be charged a monthly lease fee & anytime you add a unit to your account no matter where you get it, you automatically renew your commitment with DirecTv for 2 more years.

I bought a refurb off the tivo site for $99 and it has the more normal 12.95 a month fee.I don't know why tivo thought the $20 a month deal was even a good idea.

You can through the menu on your main receiver up to a point...then you have to call directv and have then activate it...so they can get their 6 bucks a month. Oh then they tell you they own it

It doesn't need an access card. It acts like your sitting in front of your genie, and uses the genie card. You have to authorize it for $6 a month thru directv.

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.

You will have to get a new access card from directtv. It is what links to your account

You will not have to incur any costs for the device anymore than the new 6.99 fee for the additional receiver, but being that they require renewal for any new equipment, you will have to renew your contract with them. I went through the same issues. If you do call them, you can buy the receiver outright from them and not have to renew the contract, but it will cost you more money up front.

The short answer is yes. You only own it, DirecTV will charge monthly for the privilege of activation and only do so with a two year contract. If you are going to do it, do it now before AT&T owns it as rate hikes are slated if the gov't allows buyout.

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 you can, Directv requires that you get a new card and send back the old one.

Probably not at that price. Here is what you want I think: AT&T; U-verse TV Point Anywhere RF Remote Control $59.00, sold by ATT on their website, maybe in stores too.
