I found out 2 things today. One being the renewed contract time any time you add or replace a receiver. The other is when you are at the store and buy a new receiver, you don't own it. You have only paid for the upgrade price of your system. We bought our HD DVR in Aug 2007, being lead to believe we own it. As I found today was we only leasing it and have to give it back to Direct when we cancel service. This is what I was doing when I found this out. I was also told I was going to be charged $300 early termination fee. But my two year contract was not from 2007 but from June 2008, when my son "bought" his HD DVR. At niether time were we informed of this new contract extension. In 2007 they sent a tech to switch our dish to a HD one. But my son installed his receiver his self. There was nothing Direct did but receive his phone call to activate service to the new receiver and deactivate the one replaced. What a crock.
