Dish Smart Card Swap

[sbacchus]

no cards here yet and my receivers are OLD...

 

[old corps]

I haven't gotten new cards either, and both my 622 and 722 are the old DNA revs.

Same here. No cards yet for my 622 & 722 and both have the older cards.

No cards here, neither do my brother or my parents. Its like Dish forgot to tell the guys shipping out the cards they were speeding up.

 

[MisterLas]

I got one for my 722, but my 612 didn't need one...

"I then asked if Dish was going to send me a new card for this newly installed receiver (which has an old style card). She said no, that the receiver automatically will tell the main computer if it needs a new card."

No, someone say it will be done in Nov.

Fair enough .... and by my calender, that's 4 more weeks. Have to admit, I don't race home and check my mailbox for new smart cards.

 

[Stargazer]

I got a 301 and no new card was sent for it yet. I know a few other people that have 3700, 311, no cards sent for those either. I thought those were the first to get sent new cards.

Both of my DVRs are still DNASP206, so I guess I should still expect new cards at some point.

Those purple cards were for my dish receivers? I thought they were credit cards and shredded them.

 

[DK_Sat]

No cards yet for my 501 / 508

Why doesn't someone open up a poll to see how many people do and don't have new cards. I don't have them and as long as my receivers work I do not care!

 

[RandallA]

It will be nice to find out how they're shipping, by region, by account numbers, by names? and if there's some kind of schedule for these smart cards update.

 

[CitizenX]

No card for my 625 yet.

 

[ALLTHINGS]

They usually ship by programming, internationals first, then adult channels. People with the lowest American package should get cards last, but I can assure you it is not done like that this time......And alot of cards are not reaching their destination by post. They did not say they would complete the swap by end of November. They said they would not activate receivers after November 30th if they did not have the new card.

"They did not say they would complete the swap by end of November. They said they would not activate receivers after November 30th if they did not have the new card."

Thanks, good information.

 

[Stargazer]

In other words, its going to cost you $50 to activate your receiver Dec. 1st because that is the cost of the new card.

Not telling, no, no, no, yes.
