Did they used to require a contract too. That could be why the retail place I went to told me they required one.

When buying a DirecTV receiver at retail, there is a seperate contract required from the service contract. This one is to force you to activate the receiver within XX days or you will be charged 300-something dollars. The contract the retail guy was telling out about could have been something like that.

PS- It seem that contract is never enforced, it's just used to scare you. I've never tested it though.
