Hi,
I am a brand new member of the forum but I have been using satellite systems for a while. I had a motorised dish in my last home but now moved to a flat, so my only dish here is a tiny sky dish. Anyway, the main issue is that I bought an amstrad dx550 sky box and it came with a blue viewing card with yellow house on it. When I first plugged the box, it was saying "upgrade your package" for Ch4 and Ch5. I saw in other forums that leaving the box connected for a while may solve the problem but I wasn't sure if I have to connect the phone cable or not. Being impatient, I connected the cable and then entered to the sky interactive - bills etc menu, my thinking was that maybe the card will be activated for ch4 and ch5. oooppsss after this I got a "not authorised card" message.
My question is how can I activate this card? I got the original address/name/serial no etc. Can I call sky and ask them to activate? What should I tell them? Is there any risk to the other guys (original owner)active sky subscription? For instance, can I tell them that I am using this box in another room (as the original owner) and want them to activate it for ch 4 and 5? Shall I call the number on the back of the card?
Cheers!!!!
