    Thanks for thr eplies everyone. Figured it was free, but wanted to be sure.
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Yeah, we don't have either of those but wanted to see Season 1, because it's such an excellent show.
  3. DIRECTV General Discussion
    There's a series we discovered called Undercover Underage on ID, channel 285. It's on Season 2, and we noticed that some Season 1 shows are on the on demand version, channel 1285, so is it safe to assume they're free? Noting indicating there's a charge, so just making sure.

    Yes,I learned the hard way about the Ebay boxes that can't be activated, haha. I got a newer one after that, that has not yet been activated, and not attached to an account.
  5. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Thank you for that! So, if I'm following you correctly, obviously the first option is straight forward, and I get the part about obtaining the boxes, but is the advance receiver fee $15, regardless of how many boxes, or per box? The BYOD option is the way I would go, as I have one box already...

    I wasn't asking about pricing.
  7. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Just the streaming service.
  8. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I saw that they are now charging a monthly fee for the streaming boxes, and no longer 'sell' them. That said, I have a brand new, unopened box, so if I decide to switch, will they still charge monthly for a box I already own? And if I switch, I would need three boxes, so If I acquired 2 more...

    So, I'm getting this new box that has never been activated, and I heard about this auto login 'issue'. I heard that it's turned on by default, and if not turned off before service is cancelled, it will cause problems. So I messaged this guy, and told him about the possible issue. He just...

    From everything I've heard, the Directv box is the only way to go, not the app, so I don't want to do it any other way.
  11. DIRECTV General Discussion
    True story, lol.
  12. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I know I'm ridiculous sometimes. I know refurbs can be fine, it's just a pet peeve. To be fair, had AT&T not changed that URL, that last new one would have been fine. There are new ones, still sealed, on Ebay. For most people, it's not worth it. To the OCD side of me, it sort of is. The rational...
  13. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I sent you a pm.
  14. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Yep, you don't get as long of a trial if you don't get the box from them.
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I get what you're saying, trust me. All I'm saying is, there are new ones to be had. I screwed up the last time, because while it was new, it was one of the old ones, that can't update. It's sitting right here, manufactured in 2019. That was me not knowing all that, AND the fact that AT&T are...
  16. DIRECTV General Discussion
    This is true, haha. I don't want to pay 120 for one. I'll get one, and sign up for the trial when I feel like trying it.
  17. DIRECTV General Discussion
    Makes sense they might now. That's the other part of why I don't want a refurb, I'll decide when I want to try it. The trial is short, so I want to do it when I have time to really check it out.
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    One potential one is 12/2/2021
  19. DIRECTV General Discussion
    It was new and sealed, and had the old branding on the box, that was 'part' of the problem. Also had the spinning globe splash screen. I understand about the wiping. Bottom line is, if I'm careful, and get a newer one, I will get a brand new one that I can activate. Is it slight pita? Probably...
  20. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I talked to a guy that just sold two out of three that he has. I told him about the issue I was concerned about, and he pulled the other listing, as he wants to make sure the other two have no issue. If not I will buy that one. And I appreciate your input. The refurb thing is just a per peeve of...
