How to return your DIRECTV equipment

When you cancel your DIRECTV service, you’ll have to return some of your equipment. You’ll keep your satellite dish, as well as its accessories. You’ll also keep your remote controls. You’ll return your leased receivers and the wireless video bridge. In some cases, DIRECTV will send a return kit to drop off at a mail carrier.
