DirecTV goes so far as to hold that any equipment used to receive their service, no

them ?). So your more expensive Weeknees DVR with the 2TB internal HD that you
bought may not really be yours?

I've not heard that. DirectTV has never made such claims about my owned Tivos. I get charged no lease fee (as such) and when I have to replace them over the years the tech people, at least, have acknowledged them as owned and never had a problem reactivating replacements I've acquired nor have they ever asked for old ones to be returned.
I do recall that soon after we joined up with them the stopped "selling" any equipment and made all equipment acquired from them "leased" but I never heard anything about them retroactively claiming anything that WAS owed was now leased.
