If you have ever had to replace a box or have one box listed as primary, usually livingroom, if service expires - the primary unit will be cut off first.  It is the one your account is linked too.  Within a day or so, the other unit will be disonnected also.  I know when my payment was late and I didn't realize it - my primary unit being disconnected would jog my memory.  But like I stated, the other units will soon follow.  If your account is up to date, then it could be a box problem or card problem.  You would then need to call 1-800-Directv to go through the check problems with a tech.
