Re: installed 1 day but would like to change reciever to hd
I had a similar situation to yours - here's how you solve it:
1) Go to Best Buy and "buy" an HD receiver. Remember, you wont actually "own" it, you're only leasing it. I think Costco also have them.
2) Take it home, connect it up and call in to activate it. Have the Receiver ID and Card ID for both receivers handy when you call.
3) D* will send you a box with return shipping label to return the "retired" receiver (it may take 2-3 weeks to get the box). Follow the instructions as to what to return and what not to return. Take it to a local FedEx if possible and get a receipt. Keep a copy of the tracking info showing when it was delivered just in case of any problems. |

| Also, I'd steer clear of buying on eBay. Too much chance of "buying" one that's stolen or still on a defaulted account. |

I think Costco also have them. False. This has been said a million times - the "cost" of the receiver, at any retail outlet or directly obtained from DirecTV, is the "lease acquisition fee". The link is freely available at the Best Buy website. |

My deepest apologies. I really need to not post when bleary-eyed. There's absolutely nothing wrong with your statement. When I initially read and posted - my fried brain skipped over one key word: won't.
Again - sorry about that.
