FTV card - suggestions/help to re-activate

clearlyn · 27-08-2004 06:35PM #1

Guys
I had a genuine FTV card(using a friends address in NI) matched to a sky box last early last year and it worked perfectly.
I have been working abroad for the past year and left the unit in Wicklow and have not had the unit switched on and of course the card has de activated. I have now brought the box here to Poland and am trying to activate the card. I rang the sky number (on my roaming Irish mobile) and they said they were unable to help.

I read Mickeyboymel thread on "All F.T.V Card Questons Answered Here" it states that "The legitimate FTV card is guaranteed to last until at least Dec 2005". Can anybody suggest what i can do to get the card reactivated,i am desperate for Channel 4 & 5.
Out of interest I have a second skybox with a sky suscription working here in southern Poland(Wroclaw city) on a 90cm dish at 90% signal quality, but unfortunately a 150cm dish is needed here for astra 2d reception out here, so no RTE !!

they dont switch off cards unless they have been told to or they have copped its being usues illgeally and they only way they could have figured that was is it was in a box with a phone line connected.

They card has simply needs to be left in the box for a while. Its loses channels if its left out of the box too long. Usually leaving it in the box overnight works in ireland anyway not too sure about poland.

Leave the box switched to Sky news and the card in for a day or 2.
