Thank you for your suggestion. I tried Facebook and MySpace but, no results.

Thanks for reminding me of that. With the time and energy I do have in to it I am reluctant to just give up. Now it is merely the principle of the whole thing. I feel I am close but, how knows. detox

Yes, I did try both of those sites. Nothing comes up on the free sites. The pay sites all show records for the last name but, not for the first name (Corriente). Thank you, detox

I have found 22 people with the same last name in the whole state and only 2 in the city where the receiver was donated. How reliable are these "people searches" and is it worth $2 each to see their contact information? I have tried a free service and the 2 phone numbers I tried were...

Does anyone know how could that be done? I am coming up empty with the phone numbers. Thanks, Robert (detox)

Well after almost daily phone calls to DirecTV I finally spoke with someone that gave me the account holders first and last name that the receiver still shows as active. Now the I am trying to track down a number or address. I can find a few people with the same last name but, no one with the...

Exactly, I would want DirecTV to inform me that somebody is in possession on my property and they are trying to activate it. The receiver was manufactured in 02/15/08 and is owned.

The receiver has been active since 2008 and I purchased it in September. It also shows as the only recever on their account. Here are 2 reasons I am upset the DirecTV: 1. I was told by DirecTV I could activate the receiver before I purchase it in September. 2. The Tech. Support Manager was way...

It is a H21-100 and no card was included. I was trying to order a card to activate it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Robert

Thanks. I will try to contact him but, I think that my last conversation with DirecTV may have been my last.

Well, where to start? I called again and talked to Tech. Support Rep. They informed me that this receiver is active on another account since 2008 and it is the only receiver on their account. I tried to talk with her on what my options are. She would give me no advice. I asked if she would be...
