Hi Guys,

I have a freesat card which I have plugged into an old sky digibox, looks like it's tuner is buggered. How do sky activate the card?

Can I say put this in my DM800HD and activate it that way?

Think it takes upto 24 hours?

just leave it in the sly box, can take a few hours esp. c4 and five

Thats the prob m8, I have no satellite signal coming through my sky box. My DM800 HD is fine with a signal. Don't sky boxes like motorised dishes being connected. Can I put it in my DM800 with CCam and EMM enabled lol?

You need a working sky receiver for activation. Do you know anyone with one? If you cant fix the one you have, you may need to buy a cheap working one from ebay?

got it sorted, plugged it into the output of my DM800 and just changed channels on dm800 until it picked up a valid signal :-)

Now activated.

Cheers,
