Problem...need some help. I have just brought her box round to mine and rigged it all up and there are no channels appart from BBC1 , 2 and some other crap travel. The box has been disconnected from her powerin her old house for the last 3 months. Do I need to ring up Sky to get the card reactivated? Will I have to be round her house to do this or can I do it at mine...bearing in mind the phone line will not be connected to the box.
I am sure I read somewhere in the DSForums that if you leave the machine plugged in for a while with the card in it should reactivate. Sorry if that is duff advice. You might find it with a search through the forum.
Sorry again if that is a load of twaddle and I have just imagined it.:o
I've just been trying to find where I might have read it (it may not have been on DS - I have a feeling it may have been on a site about sky in caravans). I will see if I can find the site (although I am now starting to think I may just be bonkers - must stop eating cheese late at night if I am starting to dream about sky cards )
I am not mad after all (well actually ) I found it again, and it was nothing to do with DS but was to do with caravans.
I don't know anything about these things but the bloke who owns the site seems to know what he is on about.
In short (cos it is a very long page and may be hard to find) he says it should normally be ok after about 24hrs but can need to be connected for up to 3 days. Other than that you need to call to get it reactivated.
I just took the link out (you just beat me to it) cos i just tried it and it all went pear shaped. I think it was cos that was acached google link. Sorry.
Give me a mo and I will get the right link for you.
Whats the deal with the Sky pacakges with regards to cancelling. If a direct debit payment has just come out yesterday, does that mean I have my viewing paid up until 8th April?
I don't want to cancel my contract tomorrow not knowing this...means I lose a months viewing!!

It is in the question and answers section (section 8) and is about the 8th question 'will the viewing card lose its settings...'
Now to cancel my contract and up the missus one.
Cheers again...Pudders
