    I need HELP

    I have a free to view Sky Card. Tried it to day, only to find that I cannot recieve channel four or channel five ( message on EPG asking me to ring an 08702 number to upgrade subcription). No problem with BBC N. West, etc.

    What can I do

    Have you had it in a dibgibox recently?, If not it just probably needs to be left in the box for a few more hour's to allow it to update. Is itv still on it?

    Yes ITV is still on.

    Hmmm i would leave the card in the box for the night and see if the othere channels come in in the morning, probably just needs an update after all that time.

    BBC channels are not encrypted and don't need a card of any sort.

    leave the card in box for 12 hrs or so, with box powered on, and the lost channels will reappear

    If the message says "Call to Upgrade" you're ok.
    If it says "This card is not activated" you're out of luck!
    Simple as that.
