You really don't know how much H series cards are going for , Do you?
H series cards are selling for over $300/can these days. if you can
get me H cards for $150, please e-mail me with your phone number and
I will buy as many as you can get. As for the Hu card, you just can't
go to walmart and purchase a system with a Hu, it won't happen.
As for buying a system for $99 or $149, at these prices you have to
subscribe to directv for a certain period and you must have an American
address to buy. In the past Canadian's could go to Florida or where ever
and purchase a system over the counter and take it back to Canada and
have the nearest programmer reprogram the card as a test and sit back
and watch tv. Whats happening now is that these retailers are loosing
their residuals on the sale of these systems, because the people that
are buying them from Canada were not subscribing to the service. So when
Directv switches its Data stream from the old H-series to the new Hu
series All present hacker cards will go off for good. When the Hu card
is broken everbody will need to purchase a Hu to keep getting free
programming.
