I have a sky card (new with yellow house) sent by BBC but unactivated. Sky will not activate it now. Does anyone know of a way to get it activated? TIA

If it won't activate using the new installation by phone line, then I'm afraid it is of no use Devonbrown. I think it was Zansi who said that they had disabled the new installation on the solus cards.

Thanks. I'll try that next week when I get back to Blighty. I got the card in Spain

I have just tried to activate this card via the phone and it has been partially successful. Altough it had a Scottish address I have BBC1&2 England,no itv,ch4 or ch5. No setanta1 but setanta2 and no adult channels. As far as I can see all other channels are there but cannot be viewed. the aforementioned channels are not on the EPG but can be found using the add channels and itv, ch4 and ch5 are then viewable.

That's a strange one, but I guess a partial success. :)

If it was sent by the BBC then its a free to view card.How can you get setanta,unless it was a free preview?

You are correct I get Sentanta2 preview but the point is that I don't get Sentanta1 on the EPG
