I'm moving in 2 weeks to an apartment complex where I will be getting DirecTv through the cable company that serves the complex. It's a weird setup. I pay the regular programming fees to DirecTv, not to the cable company but I have to use the cable company's equipment. They have a big satellite dish that they get the programming through and I also have to use their receiver. This ticks me off because I was considering getting a new HD widescreen and an HD receiver but I was told that I have to use their receiver. I've tried calling the cable company several times and all I get is an answering machine. Now I really have a bad feeling about this.
Can anyone think of a technical reason why I would need to use their equipment? The bill is sent to me and in my name so I assume the access card in the receiver will be in my name as well. I'd really like to find a way around this
