Is it true that there is a period in which you can cancel DirecTV Satellite without incurring the early termination fee?

You only have 24hrs after the install to cancel service before the ECF/ETF applies.

@shannon02 Wow - ok, thanks.

DirecTV (the satellite service) only has 24 hours from install before the service agreement is secured. After that the Early Cancellation Fee (ECF) would be chargable if you canceled.
