    Some of the cards were applied for under different names (which is the correct way to do it). But it seems the name & address info for some cards may not be available.

    Why would the info and names and address not be available:ninja:

    No I didn't get that message. Well we can only wait and see what happens

    The info for cards older than 2 months might not be available to her ....The card I am trying to activate is from around that time...

    In other words, I reckon I am out of luck...

    Hope it works out for you though!
    regards,

    I ordered 3 cards from Luke and after many phonecalls and a couple of e-mails in the last 3 days 1 of the cards just got activated at about 6 o clock this evening crossing my fingers for the other 2 (my brothers and fathers):)

    try adding UTV in add channels 10906 v 22.0 5/6

    u should have a picture there an hour or two before EPG is updated

    if utv shows a tv prog then u know that the activation process has started

    Well I guess they didnt get around to doing my one. Gurr.

    Now time for a little concern- whatever about FTV Cards- Does anyone know if Luke's all right? I ask as he was very helpful to me and I wouldn't like to hear bad news. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 179 ✭✭sayireland


    My sister got a card activated today which worked out OK despite a few phone calls. I'm sure the BBC-FTV phone line was very busy as was everyone else there in preparation for tomorrow.

    Luke and his family were very patient and helpful so I'm sure there was no badness involved.

    It's a pity that there may have been a few people who were just too late but I'm sure they could organise a subscription which could be later cancelled leaving the free channels there anyway.

    Probably a pretty stressful time for Luke getting cards activated before the deadline as well.

    My card (which I got from a friend in the UK on Monday) finally got activated this evening (after two calls from him (Tuesday and today) and one from me (Tuesday) to the call centre). Tempted as I was to ring back again this afternoon, I decided to let it go and hope for the best. Quite a happy moment when playing with Other Channels and seeing channels come through and later the EPG arrive (two days of nothing but Sky News and the odd TCM movie was driving me up the wall (or at least driving me to watch some bid-up.tv to break the monotony). No BBC1 yet (hopefully it'll come on - then I can at least switch cards back)

    So there's definitely some kind of queue system going on (or at least a substantial delay) - anyone who's still waiting for activation might well get lucky yet.

    Of course, Sods law is coming into play and there's bugger all on at the moment except for a BBC2 show about vector spaces. Or a BBC4 show about Antonio Negri.

    This is the start of day 4 and all of my channels have come through on my new card except for BBC1. For some reason I'm not too worried about this ;o)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 70 ✭✭corkviewer


    No luck for me yet although I did get an email from Lukes family last night to say that they were faxing through the list of numbers for activation(didn't know you could do it that way) and to leave the box on. Anyway still looking at fta channels. I did add itv via other cannels but its blank.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,905 ✭✭✭bucks73


    Mine activated at 6.55pm yesterday evening. Everything there except BBC1.

    Was flicking through the channels when the Search and Scan banner stopped working for about 30 seconds and when I went to the TV Guide all the channels were showing.

    Checked this morning again and BBC1 not on yet. Not too bothered about it though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,570 ✭✭✭irishgeo


    Mine got activated during yesterday evening sometime. BBC 1 still not on last night at 10 but i think it will be on now somehow.

    Got a card through friend in UK, who only posted it to me yesterday (he was on holidays). However I got details of card from him before he posted. I rang call centre, gave the lady all the details and asked for card to be activated, she asked me if card was in digibox, I said it was!!. she then confirmed that signal was sent and card would be activated in next 24/72 hours. She requested serial number and version number of digibox which I gave her.

    When I get my card and put it in digibox, it should activate automatically

    Will this work?

    So are they still doing activations today ? I thought it finished yesterday


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 48 brenny2506


    Sorry!!

    I rang yesterday,

    don't know if you can activate card today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 513 ✭✭✭JohnDigital


    Just got an email from Luke (guess he must be ok) 20 minutes ago to say that my card was activated this morning. I wont know for sure until I get home.

    If it isn't on when you go home give it some time after - the call centre said mine had already been activated quite a few hours before it actually began to come on (I assume it had been put in the queue). Another few days of the card in the box won't hurt you too much.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 70 ✭✭corkviewer


    So is anyone else still waiting for activation ?

    BBC 1 should have come through today on your BBC card. Two of mine did. I had actually forgotten that i did not wait to get BBC 1 activated a few weeks ago.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 70 ✭✭corkviewer


    Did anyone else here miss out on this ?
