Yes, you can as long as he OWNS it and did NOT lease it. There is a ID number on the back of the box. You have to call Direct TV and see if it was owned or leased. If it was leased that means the box really belongs to Direct TV. If they determine that he owned the receiver box you will have to buy a NEW CARD from them but the box will be yours. They WILL not and I mean WILL not let you use his or anyone's card. The card is 20.00 and you have no choice believe me, I just went through this. For some reason, even if you own the box they do charge a 4.95 monthly fee and when it is listed on your bill it will say lease price. I don't know why because I own my box but they will charge you that fee to use it. Hope this helps... Good luck, Anne

Can you pay a debt with pennies?

If I were you I wouldn't try it. You can, and I know someone who did as a result of bad customer service. After receiving poor service from a business, my friend was billed $225.00. He changed it into pennies, constructed a steel box to hold them, them welded the box shut and mailed it to the business. It cost him an additional $15 to mail, but he was satisfied.
