Pitfalls from trying to use hr22-100 bought from flea market cheap

What are they? Does the mothership detect and charge accordingly? ie. $7 a month for dvr is what they ask plus $99 up front. I can find flea market price of $30. Does activation kill my savings?

If the last owner did not pay his/her bill, you will not be able to activate it at all

 

At the least, it costs $20 to buy a new access card

Almost for sure the HD DVR does not belong to the seller.
