I’d claim they didn’t own the cards. When they send out new cards to replace the H cards, they didn’t have us send them back. They abandoned the property and no longer can claim ownership.
Besides being abandoned when they upgraded. You actually owned the card because they came with receivers when you purchased them from brick and
Mortar stores. No agreement on the purchase. You called to activate them. Satellite providers also fried the receivers as well by burning all writes on flash memory that held the firmware. So that $500 directivo receiver could get hosed during an exploit.
