Cutting a Directv access card

[Claude Greiner]

Does anyone know of a device to cut down a Directv access card down to the size of a cellular SIM card?

I got a com1000 system and none of the blades came with cards and they need to be cut down

I don't know what the original size of the DTV card is, but there are plenty of SIM card cutters available for resizing. I've done a few by hand with an X-Acto knife, but I assume you don't want to do all them that way.

Older access cards might not even work if you cut them down, just like older cards don't work in newer receivers. Why not call Directv and order what you need? If you have a client paying for a COM system with a bunch of blades surely they can afford $20 per blade to get the proper card.

Try $50 per card and I got 12 cards with 2 channels each.

$50? Either they raised the price or those are different from the regular cards and cutting them down wouldn't work...

And why only two channels per card? I thought they had cards that could handle far more than that.

I dont understand why they didn't send you the ATT sim cards they are using for the HS17 and Com 3000/1000 .
