It's not just Direct TV, it also happens with Dish. I'm on my 3rd Direct TV card at home. The executive apt. I was using last summer had Dish Network cards expire. What I found annoying was that Direct TV expected me to pay a $25 fee for the change of card to update their security. I don't mind them protecting their programming, but I don't wish to pay for it. With no small amount of angry discourse they eventually agreed to upgrade the card for free.
DirecTV access cards
DirecTV users: Have any of you recieved an envelope in the mail recently with new access cards for your DirecTV receivers? The letter states that these cards replace the existing that are due to expire soon. When did this start? I've been a DirecTV customer for 3 years and still have the same access cards in my receivers as when I got the service.
Now - I need "new" cards, that must be installed, and the old ones destroyed. No where in the package does it have an expiration date for these cards, and, my subscription anniversary date is February - this is July. Before I contact DTV customer service, I thought I'd see if anyone here has gotten a similar package.
