[QUOTE="Nick -D-vB, post: 523061, member: 183302"] Thanks for the quick reply! I have read that if you see a "Call to Subscribe" message the card has not been "killed" and should still be updating? I've heard it can take 72 hours to update, how long should it normally take? Are the EMMs cumulative, or are you just waiting for the serial number to be addressed in a rotation? My problem it that I want to use my DVB-S cards and have to keep unplugging the Sky box, I've given it ~4 hours so far but I'm trying to work out if it is starting from scratch each time I unplug the sat feed? I realise that the card has not been used for a long time so would that mean it takes longer? If I try this, and the cards aren't dead already, is there any chance they would kill them over the phoneline? Is my sister going to get a knock at the door if I do this? lol If I ring Sky and say something like: "I know I don't subscribe now but if you wake the old card up so I can get five etc I might subscribe again soon, otherwise I'm off to get a Freeview box" ...would they go for that or just try and flog me a new Freesat from sky card ??? lol [/QUOTE]
