How to cancel service to one of my DVR boxes
How to disable service to one of my DVR boxes...Why?? It’s in my teenage sons room and I’d like to have the option of punishing him by disabling cable reception to his television without the trouble of entering his junky smelly room or calling att!!!

How many receivers do you have in addition to the one dvr (that's the one wired to your gateway - you only have one of those)? Assuming there's only that one additional receiver (and that's the one in his room) you could just turn off the WAP which is ethernet connected probably close to the gateway. If it's a wired receiver then if you know which ethernet cable to the receiver plugs into the gateway, just unplug it.
If you have other wireless receivers then of course turning the WAP off disables them as well. There's no selective way to disable a single wireless receiver if there is more than one. If this is the case then get a gas mask and remove his wireless receiver!
Of course if the dvr itself is in his room and it's connected to his tv you will need to do some rewiring.
