[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 1952, member: 175057"] Firstly Simon, nothing wrong with a bit of brown nosing :) But to answer your questions, at least in part >1. When they activate (or deactivate) your card are they >actually sending an instruction to your card/box? (ie if >you simply took your card out of the box wouldn't it mean >that it would stay activated?) Not as simple as that, if you switch off your box for a month or so, even if it has a fully paid up and authorised card, the card will fail to work until it has been updated and can sometimes take several hours. so this shows that the cards require continuous updating. > >2. Some time ago i notice that there was a programme stuck >in my selected programme guide (you know the thing which >gives you a warning when your programme is about to start). >Simply, how can i delete it? Take your card out, switch off the box at the mains, switch back on and then go into personal plannerand delete all. Then switch off the box and restart with the card in......Should work >3. Living in Budapest (HUNGARY) i'm not able to receive >ITV1. I've read a number of details about people >experiencing the same problem and the first thing i did was >check the footprint of the transponder. I've been told that >it would be no use to buy a bigger dish. All i need is a >definitive answer... can i or can't i receive ITV1 and if so >what do i need to do? Don't know, is the simple answer to this one, have a look at the thread Astra 2D reception, there are details about required dish size against location. Rolf [/QUOTE]
