Found DirecTV receivers

I found 2 DirecTV receivers in my Mom's basement when I moved her and she doesn't know where they came from. What do I do with them?

Does your mom still have an active DirecTV account?

What are the box model numbers?

 

If they're old, most likely DirecTV won't want them back, so you can recycle them at any electronics recycler.

Does your mom (or any other household member) have a DirecTV account? If so, verify the number of TVs/Clients on the bill matches what is in use.

 

What model are the boxes? This will determine if you try to return or recycle instead.
