They've been done for a few years now. I bought a used one off craiglist for $75 a month or two ago and when calling to activate it (mostly just to test it before turning it off until summer) they had to special order the access card. They also made a point to explain that Directv no longer sells any accessorites / parts for sat-go. They seemed to have a very detailed script for activating a sat-go. They even explained for my locals I would need to aim at 119 instead of 101. I was pretty impressed with the CSR and / or the script for the amount of detail provided on a simple activation call.
