you need to drop it off at ups or fedex. They will ship it free of charge for you. Make sure you take your account number and get a tracking number. They don’t send labels or boxes unless your more than 10 miles from a ups or fedex location but you would need to inform them of that. And they will check based on the service address

@Constructive We don't live near a Fedex or UPS.I had this problem last year with my DVR.it took months to get someone to e-mail me one.I didn't think I would ever havet o go through this again.I can't gt anyone to find out who sent me the label or how they did it. I thought maybe someone on here could help.Thank you very much for your help.

All Genie/Mini Genie Clients are returnable except for the original (HR34 and C31). Though one other poster got an email this month that their HR44 and C41 were not returnable, so possibility that may have just updated.

New return process is you take your boxes to a FedEx or UPS Store that participates in the free return program, getting receipt showing they took possession.

If you are over 10 miles away from a participating shipper than DirecTV should use the old method. They ship you a prepaid return box, not just a label. This goes to your physical service address by FedEx with return by USPS.

If it turns out box is not returnable, then you recycle it without the access card which if you don't get an envelope within about 30 days to send back you dispose of securely like a credit card.
