 According to sources in the satellite TV underground, the vast majority of illicitly reprogrammed DirecTV access cards, which once had a street value of several hundred dollars each, were wiped out on what hackers are calling "Black Sunday.
Rob Verdann,

 A "test card" or "pirate card" as it is known in some circles can be defined as any device that emulates as DSS access card in order to decrypt otherwise scrambled satellite transmissions.
This is an electronic signal sent down from the satellite provider with the intention of shutting down or damaging access cards so they can no longer authorize all channels.
Dave Simons,
Internet Entrepeneur

 I (or the DIRECTV subscriber I am purchasing for) will use the DIRECTV programming access cards only in the Receivers they have been paired with at the time we receive them from World Wide Satellite.
All satellite receivers and associated access cards (excluding HDTV receivers) must be activated with DIRECTV within 30 days from the shipment date.
This is usually done to replace a previous access card that is no longer adequately securing conditional access to the satellite system programming.
Dan Toomey,
Computer Salesman

 Each satellite receiver comes with a new access card, and must remain in that receiver at all times at the original installation address.
