Dish Network Smart Card Swap Delayed

After approximately 10 calls to try and rectify my black screen on my international channels, I was told for the third time today that shipping of "G3" smart cards has been "postponed" until an unknown date.

Two CSRs and and 2nd level tech said I am basically SOL and that I am not targeted to receive new cards before July. They cannot turn the black channels back on. I have to wait for the cards.

BUT, all orders for "Purple cards" have beed delayed. They do not know when they can ship them.

So I guess the card swap has run into a snag. Perhaps they have run out of cards?

Doesn't sound good for a paying customer not to be able to get what you pay for. Did they offer to take it off your bill? LMAO

i was thinking this would happen. as i said how can you have people with CARDLESS receivers out there and make the encryption work. with five different cards. sorry don't make a lick of sens to me. why not go ALL cardless? i know a few that just got fresh set ups they got cardless receivers.
