Dish Network Access Cards
The purpose of the Dish Network access cards is to give
your receivers the encrypted code-breaking ability to de-scramble
the Dish Network signals that any person who owned a receiver could
collect and view for free. The way people are supposed to acquire
access cards is as follows: If a customer begins new satellite TV
service with either the Dish Network or Direct TV then the access
cards are given to you as part of your subscription package.
If you're wondering what keeps people from just buying these
Dish Network cards over EBay and getting the service
for free, it's because it's illegal to do so. There are federal
statutes in both Canada and the United States that require that
at least one person in a household has a subscription with a service
provider if that particular provider's programming is viewed within
the household.
The vast majority of people decide to comply with the government
regulations, but some satellite enthusiasts around North America
try to pick up Dish Network and Direct TV programming for free.
And a lot of the people who try to hack the system are largely successful.
Their techniques need continuous tweaking to stay ahead of the protections
utilized by the satellite companies, so a good bit of technical
knowledge is required.
But even if you have the technical knowledge needed to cheat
the Dish Network or Direct TV providers, you still aren't going
to be able to start or keep watching DBS satellite TV for free,
since you're going to need to purchase a receiver and pay for all
of the updates as they are needed.
If you're going to start new satellite service from either DirecTV
or the Dish Network, you can get up to five receivers and a
satellite
dish free.
If you think you might be interested in becoming a satellite
enthusiast and don't want to pay for satellite service, we recommend
you read more about
C-band satellite TV dishes. Getting C-band programming for free
is perfectly legal. All you need to do is buy the equipment...
