My System: Topfield 4000PVR with Aston 1.07 CAM, (canaldigitaal), dragoncam, Sky digibox, Bush HD Freesat, Visiosat trisat looking at Astra1, Astra2 and Hotbird.

Here's a more informative answer to your question:

Get a friend in the Netherlands to buy a card for you and arrange how you will be paying the card purchase costs and the yearly fee.

Have your friend fill in his details on the form that comes with the card. You are allowed more than one card so it doesn't matter if he/she already owns a card.

Have your friend note the serial number on the back of the card along with the phone number needed to activate the card and the send the card to you. The details should also be on his copy of the form.

When the card arrives insert it into your receiver (Must have a CAM with Astoncrypt (my preferred choice), tetracrypt or pentacrypt installed and then phone your friend and ask him to phone canaldigitaal to activate the card if its not already activated. Don't forget to point your dish at Astra1

If for some reason the card stops working then your friend will have to phone canaldigitaal to reactivate it.

Canaldigitaal cards do *not* need to be married to your digibox like the Sky cards do.
Canaldigitaal cards will not work in a Sky digibox, you need a mediaguard receiver or a receiver with UCAS or CAM.
