Selling a DirecTV Receiver

I want to sell a DirecTV receiver but DirecTV told me that I can't sell it with the access card and that the buyer would have to buy a new access card. Has anyone sold a receiver before and worked around this issue. This sounds ridiculous to me and would make the idea of buying a used receiver a bad one especially with new ones selling for next to nothing.

Any information on "hacking" an H-card. I have always been interested in the possibilities, pitfalls, etc.

As I have been told,hacking/reprograming, is done from a clone. Once they (the sat co) get one, they send out a signal that destroys "the whole family".Hardly worth the few months they are usually good for.

The hacking of H cards, is easy, even if they put an ECM out to zap your BIN #, within a hour a new Bin 1 is posted to the internet and you just go download it, and open the e3 hole and unloop the card and your back up in 20min.

I believe that DirecTV did a massive zap that totally castrated H cards. When is the last time that you guys checked this out? This happened recently, i.e. within the last month or so.
