DirecTV Card

      The DirecTV card is the integral component of the DIRECTV Satellite TV system that furnishes information to the satellite providers concerning the use of the system. It contains a microprocessor that enables it to act as an auxiliary processor for the satellite receiver. It eliminates payment hassles, provides back up to its receivers and promotes personal system control. What this means is that DirecTV has the ability to provide added access to each customer's favorite programming options. Unwanted program viewing literally becomes obsolete.

      Because it lends itself to so many necessary features, the DirecTV card automatically comes with each DirecTV satellite system. It is a required component as it allows the system provider to capture billing information specific to individual accounts. It provides security and encryption information that allows individuals to have complete control over the use of their system.

      Not only does the DirecTV card provide a convenient service to those who subscribe to the DirecTV system, but it also has benefits for the DirecTV company as well. By allowing the service provider to see what TV shows and satellite programming options have been viewed by each individual subscriber, DirecTV is able to accurately compile billing information. Special offers and promotional deals can be packaged and presented to every customer based on their personal viewing preferences.
