Could this be billed through your sky sub??? And if so you'd need to cancel???

Setanta do their own billing.

Don't think so, says in the terms and conditions that no additional contractual commitment is necessary.

DANNY2014

Yea read that part... Has any1 that signed up actually got the sub...

xabi

I'll call them tomorrow if it's not activated by then.

Both

This is what you get

Captain Don Thorpe

My sub was activated a short while ago, took just over 48 hours after filling in the form.

Just done it now, probably won't get it in time for the Arsenal Watford game. Should be in time for Everton Arsenal tho :-)

Thanks OP

CorEire

Thanks OP.

I'm using an old card and HD box from when I was with sky (the were paired to eachother at the time before I cancelled my sub).
Setanta's page accepted the card number fine and I just set up the box and I'm getting "This is the wrong Sky viewing card for this Sky+HD box". I'm assuming this is due to their pairing and the fact that the card is deactivated.

Anyone know if it'll work once Setanta activate the package? I can't see sky being helpful in pairing a deactivated card for someone who is no longer a customer but I'll try them on Monday if needs be.

How long has this offer been out for?

Pity i didn't get it for last nite, handy for some GAA games left & upcoming EPL games, pity it doesn't have a full breakdown of the games coming as i used to get it here but reverts back to the other link.

It's because you didn't have the box on for some time, same thing happened to me.
I've no idea if it'd just start to work when setanta activate it.

But you can repair it yourself, you'll need to connect the box to your internet or phone line first though.
Get to the hidden installers menu, try pressing 'services 0 0 1 select' or else google it for your firmware. Then do a new install.

andrew1977

Signed up yesterday mid morning,Picture came on a short while ago. Happy Days.thank you OP

adox

Do they email you to let you know that it's been activated or do you check yourself?

Signed up there myself although I'm not sure if it will go through. Cancelled my Sky sub last year and am now using a UK card for the FTA channels. I used that card number and my normal address so will wait and see.

paddym1

Thanks OP. Signed up late last night.

I was worried I'd done something wrong but it must be a manual process with no order. Hopefully we'll get sorted soon. I'll let you know if/when mine goes live.

Muahahaha

Is your Sky card number also your Sky account number? I don't seem to have a card sticking out of my Sky box

No, they're 2 different numbers.

You will need a Sky card in the box to receive Setanta/BT. Doesn't matter if its an active card or not but it has to be a Sky card.

If you have a sky sub, the card should be inside a little flip down panel on the bottom right corner.

Muahahaha

Nice one, just found it there- would never have known that flip down panel was there !

BionicRasher

Ordered Friday. Turned on this afternoon.
Great stuff

My card hadn't been active for 2 or 3 years. Ordered Friday and started working last night.

Still waiting, maybe it'll turn on during working hours tomoro?

Suppose we'll know tomoro? I wonder if there's anything else needed to do, like leave it on a certain channel?

There is no validation on the card number that you enter, I fat fingered entering my card number on the first attempt and it 'accepted' it even though it was clearly an invalid card number - might be worth signing-up again and verify you have the card number right. I signed-up on Friday at 6 and it was active less than 24hrs later.

_Kaiser_

Filled in the form on Friday and it's working today - was out all day yesterday so it was probably activated with the others on the previous page.

Bonus: HD picture and all which is nice as I don't have a HD sub for the rest

many thanks xabi, try it for month anyhow:):):)

Mines in the clear tonight after signing up yesterday.

No Setanta for me as I'm on the English epg but happy enough with BT in HD.

Cheers OP.

okidoki987

Yeah BT in HD is a bonus.
Surprised they haven't got 1200 signed up yet?

Masala

Up and running.... Happy days!!

Thanks to OP again!!

I just LUV free stuff!!

Subcomandante Marcos

Just signed up, nice one OP.

Seve OB

Thanks OP.

Just signed up there.

So 48 hours... Set up nicely for match on Thursday night

I presume there is no cancelling that needs to be done so is there?

A-Train

Only seen this thread on Sunday evening, signed up then and only remembered to check this morning, all working great stuff.
