Sir/Ma'am,
I have a DirecTV R10 (Very satisified user :D ) and have recently relocated to work at a base in Florida. The problem is I cannot get DirecTV here, only Brighthouse Cable (HOA Rule). I can't afford a new unit and Brighthouse has informed me this unit cannot be used on their service. Is there any way to convert, purchase a card, adapt? :confused: I'd rather ship the unit off to be reprogrammed if necessary. I really like the unit and it's GUI; so I'm not exactly excited about their offer of leasing me a lesser unit. :mad:
I will appreciate any direction offered here.
Thank You!

No, Directivos are phyiscally incapable of receiving anything but a Directv signal. You could sell it on Ebay and use the proceeds to purchase a standalone Tivo, though!

I also thought there was some law that HOA's can't prohibit homeowners from getting satellite service if they wanted to.
