    Done :) Thanks OP... will we need to remember to cancel again?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,029 ✭✭✭xabi


    Don't think so, I didn't give any billing details anyway.

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

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

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,029 ✭✭✭xabi

    Both :)

    This is what you get

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,382 ✭✭✭✭greendom


    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 50 ✭✭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.

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,080 ✭✭✭✭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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 147 ✭✭paddym1
