Tivo for existing customer?

[Jtater]

Does anyone have any idea how an existing customer could go about getting DTV to send them a Tivo receiver? Any info would be of assistance. Thanks in advance for your replies.

I just returned to Directv!! I was one of the original Directv customers but switched to Dish Network 2 years ago. I called Directv last week and asked for the 'cancellation team'. Their original offer was for new Hughes Direct Tivo Series 2 and a standard receiver for my girls bedroom for $199.00 plus $49.00 install with 6 months of Showtime and any other package for $2.00. I called back again and got a different team member and he said they had a new promotion for existing/returning customers for the DirectTivo and another standard receiver for $99.00 with FREE install and the programming above!! Needless to say, I am back with Directv. I love the Tivo functions but a hate how slow the program guide compared to the guide I had in my Dish PVR 501. Definately needs a software upgrade to speed it up.....otherwise I love my new Direct Tivo. Good luck!

Figured I would update my thread with my favorable outcome. I placed a call to the retention department and asked the why it's cheaper for me to cancel DTV, pay the early termination fee and get a DN dvr. So the end of search came when I was offered the Tivo unit for $99 with free shipping and installation. So I will now join the ranks of DTV Tivo service.
