  • I'm not too sure. Wouldn't it be cheaper just to get the boxes through DirecTV then having to buy the boxes and the prepaid cards though? Especially since you don't really want the DvR boxes.

  • You have to pay for each additional box....$5 a month for any additional box you have getting service.

  • You don't have to go through directv even though you have a unit outside. You could use another provider, but they would have to set up their own equiptment.
