I bought a Thomson DSI4214 from eBay and when it arrived it had a white card inserted. I gave it a try but the card had fallen asleep so I left it on Sky News for an update. After a few hours it started working (Five HD 12266H, Five, Fiver & Five USA 12422H, C4 HD 11798H, C4 & C4+1 12480V), but it won't decode any ITV regional FTVs.

Has anybody come across this before?
 
Yes - the updates can be staggered so channels reappear one at a time. Just leave it a few days.
 
Motorised dishes are such a pain. If I connect up a Sky receiver to wait for an update I can't use the dish for anything else. I think I'll try leaving the card in the second slot on my Linux box for a few days and see how I get on with that.
 
That would be ok if I were in the UK... just pop up a minidish... but here that would mean another big dish.
 
Whats wrong with a 60cm dish left on sky news? That works for me waking up cards.

I have noticed that the "Fives" start to appear in a pattern...10am, 2pm and 2am...
 
I have spare freesat cards and lately they have been taking 2 days to reactivate.
 
Ok, I have just got another update that extends the entitlements until 16/01/2011 in the second slot in the Linux box, so there's no need to set up a Sky receiver or second dish to receive these. But there is still no ITV. Currently I have 003, 00b, 001d, b765, b766, b772, & b773. What am I missing?

You seem to be missing b860 and b8c0 if I compare your card with mine.
