This item is still owned by DirecTV and cannot be activated. Seller did not respond to any emails; did not refund money. Basically got cheated by buying a stolen item through AMAZON. I thought all sales through AMAZON were legit. Horribly disappointed!

We recently got DirecTV after seeing their ad blitz for 75 HD channels. They brag about their “digital picture and sound,” and their great customer service.
The truth is the only way to get digital picture and sound is with a HDTV and an HDMI. Their picture is actually worse than the picture we got with Comcast. Not to mention there is no two year agreement with cable, no picture loss when it rains, you do not have to pay for “leased equipment, and you do not need an ugly dish hanging on your house.
When we purchased our most recent HDTV, we figured we would replace the DVR we had with DirecTV and get an HD DVR to replace it.
DirecTV told us we would have to pay $299 for the privlige of leasing their receiver from them. In addition to this we would have to pay $50 because we were a new customer “and had not established a credit history with them.” Also, we would have to pay $20 for shipping and handling and extend our contract for another two years.
Maybe DirecTV thinks it is in the cellphone business because all they want to do is lock you into long-term contracts and make you bleed money to them forever. Their symbol should be a ball and chain because that is what they really are. Cable here I come!

I’ll keep it simple. Bought one, took the old one out, installed the new one in 3 minutes. Called Direct TV to activate the new card, which took 2 minutes. The HDMI cable (included) works great. I have no complaints about this unit.
I hope this helps

I had to return the unit because the HDMI did not give a signal. The rest of the video outputs worked occasionally. It is ashame that the choices for Directv is limited to only one unit.
