The Direct TV test card, a small electronic chip, inserts into the TV receiver and serves the main purpose of identifying and match the customer to the service provider. Each of the test cards has a unique code allocated to them which identifies the customer to the service provider.
This credit card size access card works as an auxiliary processor to the receiver for billing, security, encryption, decryption, and other purposes. You may be familiar with the test cards, as it enables you to make use of the Pay Per View programming.
The Direct TV test card is linked to the service provider’s computer through their land-based telephone line. This access card contains all the necessary information about the type of subscription and is essential for activating the program. With this connection, subscribers’ additional billing information, like Pay Per View for sports, movie, etc programming is mirrored to the company’s receiver and to the computer network.
Now and then, some advertisements are found touting Direct TV test cards at tempting low prices. They usually promise that their cards can provide their customers access to almost all channels available on the system. It is done so by reprogramming or removing the blocks of copy-written software, software which is used for decrypting all the channels available on the system.
All these advertisers actually sell is pirated test cards which cost them practically nothing. Because these cards access the programs through some other genuine service providers systems, you are actually stealing programming when you use these pirated test cards.
This unavoidable problem of these cards of linking TV set through some unsubscribed service providers system to access to the satellite transmissions provides the service providers the opportunity to command the control over the services of those unsubscribed service consumers.
The service providers can easily get to know through their system that people are using their systems without their permission. The piracy was rampant until a few years ago but the Direct TV has now been able to improve the security of these cards and is cracking down on pirators through the law. The service providers continuously hassle these users in order to force them to subscribe to their service. They hassle these pirated card users so much that they almost make these cards useless. Therefore these users are ultimately forced to subscribe to their service.
These illegal test cards; in some cases; may even be incompatible with the system with which it is used or sometimes may work only for a short period. Hence, the hassle of buying and selling an illegal Direct TV test card is much like gambling, and probably isn’t worth your time in the first place.
Direct TV has introduced the following cards so far:
a) P1 Cards: Was used until 1997. It featured the picture of a satellite on it.
b) P2 Cards: Was introduced in 1996 and was in existence until 2002.
c) P3 Cards (Hu cards): Introduced in 1999 and featured the picture of a football player on it in the front so it is also known as football card.
d) P4 Cards: These current generation P4 cards were introduced in 2002 in the market. It has been highly successful over the P3 cards in controlling the piracy. It is also known as access card #4.

About the Direct TV Hu Card
The Direct TV Hu Card, which is a small electronic chip, inserts right into your TV receiver and gives you access to many channels for your enjoyment. This card is also known as the Football card of P3. This 32-bit access card was first introduced to the market in 1999. The main difference between the old H access card and the new Hu card is that Hu card contains dual ASICs and has the dynamic encoding capability.
The H card can only pick up the analog signals while the Hu card picks up both the analog as well as the digital TV signals. Hu cards are also featured with the higher security measures. Hu cards’ serial numbers start from 0001 7400 0000, so their serial numbers must be equal to or greater than this number. When you are buying a Direct TV Hu card, it is always better to look for one that has the ability to pick up universal signals, signals from any receiver. This is better than a card that picks up receiver-specific signals. Also, don’t forget to inquire if the card will be compatible with the system you are using.
Be aware if the card retailer is authorized or not, otherwise you may get entangled in the ramifications of paying a hefty fine and seizure of your equipment. Unauthorized retailers are found selling illegal cards all the time, and fiddling with these illegal retailers isn’t worth the trouble.
Packaged in a plastic box, the Hu card chip is provided to the Direct TV service consumer while signing up for a package. It commands the receiver which channel frequencies to decode for displaying the content on the display of the TV set and thus serves the purpose of allowing only the preapproved channels/programming to get displayed on the customer’s TV screen; and blocks the others. Therefore, if a customer wants to switch to another package; he must get another Hu card mailed from his service provider.
You can easily order another Hu card online and receive it in the mail if you’d like. Replacing the new Hu card by the old Hu card is all that needs to be done to get the service according to the newly ordered package. Thus, you’ll avoid the need to take the receiver to your service provider in case you would like to switch to a different package than the one you already have.
Most of the Direct TV Hu cards are reprogrammable; so you can also get your old card reprogrammed by retailers to get the instant access to the channels you’re looking for.
Hu card serves another important purpose of blocking the inappropriate contents of a channel/programming at the subscriber’s will. This highly desirable purpose is communicated through the use of the “Parental Block Out” feature of the receiver. The Hu card is designed such as to execute this command through the receiver. This feature allows the TV owner to block contents of the programming which he does not want to get viewed on his TV screen by the other persons.
In the 21st century when the censor board was facing almostly unavoidable and the hardest difficulty of controlling thousands of channels broadcasted throughout the world through satellites owned by different nations; the Parental Block Out feature of the Hu card greatly relieves the TV owners from the embarrassment of getting the inappropriate contents viewed by their family members, relatives and guests in front of them.
