What can we help you with?

Internet & WIFI

TV

  • How do I subscribe for service?

    Even if Internet and TV is included at your community, you must subscribe to activate service.

    • You will need your apartment address to begin subscription process.
    • After your subscription has been submitted, it will be sent for processing. Once completed, you will receive an email or SMS. If you subscribed within two days prior to your move-in date service will be on at move-in. 
  • How long am I in a contract?

    Standard receivers:  month-to-month, cancel anytime

    Premium Receivers: 12 months (DVR, HD, HD-DVR, Genie, Genie Mini)
    Early termination:  $20 per month for remaining months left in your 12 month agreement.

    We recommend a standard receiver for 6-month leases
    This is the only receiver that does not require a 12-month contract

    • Premium receivers (HD, DVR, HD/DVR) have a 12-month contract, only keeping this option for 6 months would result in an Early Cancellation Fee of $20 for the 6 months left on contract.
  • What are my receiver options?

    All receivers feature:

    • All-digital picture and sound.
    • Stay on top of all the game scores with ScoreGuide
    • Parental Controls.
    • New DIRECTV customers are eligible for special receiver promotions.
