I've lost ART after one month, I wonder if the card needs registering, obviously impossible from Blighty.

It could be your box/cam to blame.Some boxes/cams(patched) cant switch original cards back on after things like code change.I have had this problem with m-vision and other"pirate"boxes .One solution is to put the card into an original irdeto/viaccess cam(depending which art you have),or a normal receiver.

zorba has a good point, as my card is fine in an embedded cam but their are other punter's using cams who are getting nothing.

Thanks for your help, did they change codes just before the games? Would make sense I suppose.

Unfortunately, it seems Art has been down for a lot of people tonight.
There are unconfirmed reports that Art switched these cards off because they were initially only supposed to be 3 month cards to cover the World Cup for people in Algeria.

I've just checked the expiry date of my card and it has changed from July 2007 to 2011!

Time to contact my supplier methinks.

thats possible,we had "special" offers for world cup,but not for 3 months ,then world cup 1 and 2 would become sport 5 and 6.and after the special offer period the price went up.
It could be a mistake by art.

I can say that they definitely did not change keys or anything, as I didn't watch the game tonight and haven't used my ART card since the weekend. After seeing several posts about AT cards going off I decide to check mine, but not before enabling all the blockers in newcs. Thus if they had changed the keys, my card would not be decoding, yet it is...

I'm sure that it'll be OK, if not, then I'm sure Mantesat will sort it out for you. :)

The batch of cards in question, were diverted from their middle East/North African market place, but the standard cards will I'm sure come from normal/legitimate sources.

It's not just e-bay sellers who were caught out but others as well.
It seems that a batch of 3 month cards for the World Cup have been sold, in good faith by the sellers, and are now being switched off by Art.

Lets hope they switch them on again. If not get in touch with your supplier.
