Streaming service still linked

I need to pay by tomorrow or have my service cut off but cannot access my account.  I keep getting care code 201. After researching this i see that it's probably because my accounts are linked but I do not know how to fix that.  Please help.

This is the DTV sat forum.  You most likely need to call DTV streaming to pay the bill and unlink the accounts

Call and pay over the phone through the voice system. (paying through a live agent results in $5 Phone Transaction Fee on your next bill). Paying over the phone or their website posts same day. (An EFT/Electronic check payment might risk a slower transaction resulting in posting the next day when it is this late so use a card).

Just don't use a 3rd party method (Moneygram, bank's bill pay, etc.) as those take up to 3 business days to post.
