Mine took about an hour yesterday, i presume that the card is being read and the number shows in the system information screen?

Well they say 24hrs, so i would guess that another phonecall may be in order.

Mind you, I can remember when I got a card for my sister in France, I left strict instructions with brother in law to leave the receiver on and not in standby. 2 days later I phoned them for a chat and as a matter of interest asked if the card was OK. Nothing's come through yet she said, "I keep switching it on to check, but they can't have sent the signal" :-bash

So I made the call again and it activated almost immediately, amazing what having the receiver switched on does for an activation. :rolleyes:

did you order a new card from them or did you order the activation of an existing card? I got a new card for my box and had to call them with all of the details from the Services - System Details screen

Yes, some are more zealous than others, don't know why though, costs them nothing.
