Hello @Whataburger956! Thank you for reaching out.

 

DIRECTV sends reminders through text messages and emails, if the customer wishes to receive updates of their account activities.

 

If you need assistance with anything else, please feel free to reach out.

It won't be an error message or up-front notice on the receiver, just something that you can see in the "Messages" category. If payment hasn't been received in awhile, I do believe that the DIRECTV package will be downgraded to a very skinny and limited bundle with access to just local channels and some other cheap and boring ones.

Still? I’ve had Directv over 20 years. I don’t recall ever seeing anything like that on the tv.

@sandblaster it comes through the ‘Messages’ section, at least for my HR24-100 at one point. I have no Genies or Genie minis so..

@detuch254 Yeah, I always check those. I just don’t recall ever seeing one about paying the bill other than something generic, not account specific.
