I have a few Direct TV questions do you have answers?

Question

First My neighbor went bankrupt, when the bank took possession of his house the set all his belongings out to the road on garbage day. Included was several Direct TV recievers with out the remotes. I picked these units up. They have all there cards. When I hook them to my direct TV line they will display the menue, and display a direct TV station clearily, but no other stations when I select them. It directs me to call customer service My question is
1.) Is this normal or are these units bad ?
2.) are these units the property of direct tv or were they the property of my x- neighbor?
3.)Can these units be sold legally.
4.)Can these units be used on my direct TV.

If you have directions givem to me

Answer 1

1) This is normal: the receivers themselves are working fine, from what you're describing.

2) The receivers are now your property, since your ex-neighbor dumped it in the trash. The access cards, however, are the property of DirecTV, and that's why you need to contact Customer Service so you can register those receivers onto your account and they can send you activated access cards to insert into those receivers and make them work the same as your other receivers.

3) I suppose so, since you acquired them from public access.

4) Apparently they work, so I suppose you can.
