DirecTV access cards


DirecTV users: Have any of you recieved an envelope in the mail recently with new access cards for your DirecTV receivers? The letter states that these cards replace the existing that are due to expire soon. When did this start? I've been a DirecTV customer for 3 years and still have the same access cards in my receivers as when I got the service.
Now - I need "new" cards, that must be installed, and the old ones destroyed. No where in the package does it have an expiration date for these cards, and, my subscription anniversary date is February - this is July. Before I contact DTV customer service, I thought I'd see if anyone here has gotten a similar package.

I also received a new card about a month ago. I disregarded it for about a week, until a message came on the screen that I would lose my signal if I didn't install the new card. I think it gave me 30 minutes. So I followed the on screen instuctions and installed the new card. It's pretty painless, so I wouldn't make a fuss about it, they give you the card and don't charge you for it.
