DirecTV access cards authorize the satellite TV subscriber to receive the channels available in your programming package according to your subscription agreement. DirecTV access cards feature an imbedded IC chip which you must insert into your receiver to active the satellite TV and view programming. DirecTV access cards will be given to you once your system is installed and you have signed up for the service. DirecTV is now utilizing the fourth generation of satellite TV smart cards known as P4. Labelled "Access Card: 4", these cards were introduced in 2002 and are now the standard. Older DirecTV access cards are the P1, known as F cards. They have a picture of a satellite on the front and were used until 1997. P2 cards, also known as H cards, were in use until 2002. And finally, the P3, or HU cards, were introduced in 1999 and are still supported up to now to authorize you to watch satellite TV from DirecTV. If you still have one of the older DirecTV access cards, such as the H card, remember that this is an analog card and unsuitable for watching digital satellite TV. You will have to upgrade to an HU card which is used to authorize both analog and digital reception. Check the authorized dealers listed here on this site for your shopping convenience.
