Hi there, I have a R10 unit in which the Hard Drive went bad. I bought a used R10 unit and it's in good shape, but here's the kicker...the original owner had an outstanding bill due to Directv, so unless I want to pay her bill I can't use the new box.
So, does anyone know if I could use the Hard Drive out of the new one I just bought and put it in my old unit? They are both R10, but the only thing I don't know is if her account info follows the Hard Drive or just her receiver (unit)? I called Directv and they told me that if I buy a new one to check the Directv unit number on the back of the box and they'd tell me if it was good or not. Well, does the Hard Drive know what that unit number is?
I know this all sounds crazy, but I want to just pop the new Hard Drive in to my old unit, but I'm afraid that all her stuff will still follow me (account info/unit number/past bill/etc.) and I won't just get a new Hard Drive.
Anyone got any ideas or experience with anything like this?
Thanks!!!
