[QUOTE="cjgall, post: 208527, member: 175963"] Hi Douglas, Although canal digitaal state on the form that you must activate over the phone you can also do it online. The online service is probably newer that the form. I don't think that it will be a problem trying to activate the card in the wrong hardware, the card will not be activated thats all. Don't forget that Canal Digitaal guarentee the cards and are very good when it come to replacing them which is free of charge. So don't worry about activation problems. First thing to do is to sort out your hardware. Once you have the right hardware and have it tuned to BVN on Astra 1 you can then tune into Nederland 1 or RTL 5 and try the active a new card option ([URL="http://www.watchus.nl/default.asp?id=301"]Activatie nieuwe smartcard[/URL]) on the Canal Digitaal website: [URL="http://www.watchus.nl/default.asp?id=301"]http://www.watchus.nl/default.asp?id=301[/URL] If that fails try reactivate smart card ([URL="http://www.watchus.nl/default.asp?id=302"]Heractivatie bestaande smartcard[/URL]): [URL="http://www.watchus.nl/default.asp?id=302"]http://www.watchus.nl/default.asp?id=302[/URL] I am confident that one of these two options will sort out the activation problem. Btw. Canal Digitaal send out the update keys around the last/first weekend of the month. I never leave my box on when I am not using it but it always picks up the update. Topfield make great receivers, if you can stretch to a PVR version with hard disk I would recommend it. This allows you not only to record to hard disk but also pause and/or rewind live TV and even start recording a program from the beginning even if you have already watched the first half. I also cannot fault the Aston 1.07, it works perfectly in the Topfield 4000PVR I use, Aston update the firmware when needed and it never missed the monthly keys update. I have also had several firmware updates from Topfield with various improvements to the user interface along with sound improvements etc. Just to recap: 1. Buy your receiver and Aston 1.07 CAM 2. Set up your dish to point to Astra 1 at 19.2 degrees east, tune the receiver to BVN to check that you have a good signal. 3. place the CAM into one of the Topfields CI slots and place the smart card into the CAM (chip facing up) 4. Tune to Nederland 1, SBS6 or RTL 5 5. If you don't get a picture but an error message then go online and try to ' activate a new card' . make sure when you do this that the receiver is turned on and tuned to one of the channels i mentioned in step 4. [URL="http://www.watchus.nl/default.asp?id=301"]http://www.watchus.nl/default.asp?id=301[/URL] 6 if activating a new card fails then try reactivating an esisting card: [URL="http://www.watchus.nl/default.asp?id=302"]http://www.watchus.nl/default.asp?id=302[/URL] Within a few minutes depending on how busy the sytem is the picture should come on. 7. Fill in and post the registration form and send it off. Don't forget, CanalDigitaal will send you a new card free of charge if you cannon get it to activate as long as you subscribe to at least the set-top-box package (now 39,95 per year). i will also place a copy of this e-mail message in the forum topic containing your original question as it may be of interest to other members. All the best, Chris [/QUOTE]
