Dish smart cards

[Claude Greiner]

What is the correct smart card Dish is using these days?

I found a factory sealed 622 the other day in my warehouse from 2011. I know there is a card in it, but not sure which one it is.

I know it’s not blue, yellow, purple or red.

Does anyone know if dish will send the right card if someone goes to activate it ?

I don’t know if they’ve changed since but 2 years ago when I signed up for flex pack pre- rollout I had to get a purple card for my 722.

Purple cards (G3) still work for most packages. For Flex Pack (or any of the Channel Packs that were launched to go with Flex Pack) a G4 (white) or newer Smart Card would be required. A receiver from 2011 would probably not have the G4 card, so Dish would send a new card for that receiver if necessary.
