just be sure you warn any buyers what will happen when they try to
active it. I just bought a Philips unit on Ebay and when I called
Directv about getting the missing access card I was told I would have
to commit to a 24 agreement just to activate the unit which I consider
unfair. They want to charge me $20 for the access card.
I bought the DirecTV Philips DSR708 Receiver for $42 with $19
shipping but it did not have an access card. See my posting today on
the subject: DirecTV Philips DSR708 Receiver for the details.
I am going thru with my purchase since it was my fault for not
checking with Directv before making my bid. Also remember that Circuit
City has the new 80g unit for $99.99 advertised on their web page.
