FTV cards - highest price one of us has paid?

sceptre · 20-02-2004 09:42PM #1

A few of the recent threads on FTV cards (how much and so on) have put me in mind to ask the question as to what the highest price one of us has paid for an FTV card might be. Or the highest price a neighbour or a friend has paid (the line is only closed a few weeks so the odds are good that none of us has paid dramatically over the odds but we may know someone who has)

To begin, my card cost me nothing (last day they were available last year). Apart from a mate of mine who got a card for his parents at the same time and never activated it, I don't know anyone else in the real world who actually has one. Can someone start the record on a higher price? Packet of peanuts, few pints, £23.50, a hundred quid? Has anyone coughed up the 200-euro+ prices being quoted in the B&S?

theres a mate of mate in england offering me one for £60 sterling, thing is, its not activated.... my questions are, is it too late to get this little gem activated? ie, are they still taking calls to activate cards?

Paid €150 for it!

But got an offer of €200 for it so not so bad.

Use the Pout/Xplicit 984 method (Its £5 a month at the moment and as theres a registration fee for first time users of the nightly option it aactually works out cheaper to take it for a month)

It worked for me

Dont know if it works for P1 cards

Paid £60 for mine also off ebay around mid January. Came activated and works a treat. The region for the card is Yorkshire which I think is one of the better regions.

I also have an Irish sub and was wondering if anyone noticed how much quicker the new type P2 card is compared to the P1 type. It only takes a few seconds for the EPG to change over from Irish to UK compared to a comple of minutes with the old P1 card. I suppose it could also be better firmware on the Sky box?

The new card does seem quicker, but I always changes the card on a channel that has no Irish feed for commericals ie the shopping channels or FTV

yes i always use one of the freebie channels. It does make the EPG switch quicker doing this.
