Direct TV Access Cards
It is actually these Direct TV access cards which
allow your receivers to de-scramble the Direct TV programming signals
that anyone with a receiver could pick up. If you begin new satellite
television service with Direct TV or the Dish Network, these access
cards will be provided to you and are basically what you're paying
for with your service subscription.
Well, what keeps people from just finding access cards
from non-traditional markets and getting Direct TV or Dish Network
service for free? For one thing, it's illegal. Federal statutes
in both the US and Canada require that if you want to access DBS
(direct broadcasting systems, such as Direct TV or Dish Network)
satellite channels then at least one person within that household
must maintain a valid subscription with the service provider.
Even though most people comply with these regulations, there
are still those within the satellite television community who try
to hack the Direct TV or Dish Network access card systems to get
full channel access for free. Many of these people do actually figure
out how to get around paying for the satellite service, but to do
so, regular updates in the already sophisticated methods are required.
In other words, a lay-person probably would not be interested enough
in satellite communications to put in the time to figure out how
to hack the system.
Also, even if you can figure out how to get around needing
Direct TV access cards, you're cost to start watching DBS satellite
television will be far from cheap, as you still have to buy a receiver
(which will be above $300) and pay to implement the necessary updates.
If you really want to stay away from subscription satellite services,
we recommend you read more about
free
to air satellite TV service. FTA satellite service is legally
free to receive.
If you want to pay for satellite service, you can get up to five
receivers and a satellite dish free. Visit our
free
satellite TV dish page for more information.
