DirecTV: Cancel service then turn on for a couple days?

Question

I am moving but will be keeping my little house in the country. Ideally I would like to be able to turn the service off and on for a minimal fee when I come into town (I spent half an hour on hold, but got know answers). I can't even see how to cancel the service on the web site.

Is it possible (practical) to turn the service on and off again?

Note: I spent a 1/2 hour on hold to ask this question; but the guy at the call center had no answers (he would have to transfer me to someone who could cancel...).

Answer 1

No, they don't let you do that.. they would charge you a connect fee every time... either leave it on and pay the minimum service, or bring movies when you visit..

Answer 2

Idk
