    Dont activate it by calling Setanta. If you do, you will receive only BAI approved programming and very little else. To get FTA channels, just put it into a Sky box. It should pick them up pretty quickly but you may need to leave it in overnight to get the card to self activate.

    They'll show up on the menu,don't forget to set them as favourites so you can skip the encrypted stuff by using the blue button.
