A month ago I had Charter cable TV/Internet/telephone service installed and cancelled my DSL Internet/phone service and DirecTV satellite service. The DirecTV lady I talked to on the phone said she'd send a box for the receivers and to just leave the access cards in them. Then she changed her mind a bit and said it appeared that one of the receivers was old enough that they didn't want it back so she'd send an envelope for the access card.
The access card envelope arrived (made to hold up to 6 access cards), but no box. So after awhile, I called again and the man I talked to said they didn't want either receiver back; just the access cards. I told him I hated to just throw the receivers in the trash and he just laughed and said to keep them in case I came back to DirecTV. So I sent back the access cards, and I've already received a check for the credit I had on my account.
A son-in-law said I could try to sell the receivers on eBay and sure enough there are many of them listed on eBay from $10 up.
So I have an old model D10-300 (not HD) receiver and a model H21-100 (HD) receiver, two DirecTV universal remotes, and one DirecTV user guide and one remote user guide. They are old, but were all still working.
I don't want to sell them. I just want to be rid of them. What would you do?
