I've picked up a 2nd hand Sky card (Yellow house), When i pop it into my old digibox i can get all the usual FTA stuff but the FTV stuff is prompting me to call Sky - fair enough - AFAIK all i need to do is phone Sky, give them the card number and my digibox number and they will marry the two together and voila...i have a FTV card.......
I phoned Sky, a young scots fella answered the phone and i explained to him my predicament, he then gave me the most bullshit answer i've ever heard in my life, he said...
"You will not get any TV using that card as the card was origianlly issued to a customer in Southampton, the satellite signal for southampton is not strong enough to reach Glasgow, you could try buying a larger dish maybe that would work"
I explained that it was not a signal issue as i had all the FTV channels, all i needed him to do was take my card number and digibox number and marry them up, he then replied.
"It'll cost you £20"
I said "No, I don't want to buy a card, i already have a card, i just need you to pair up the card and box"
He then said "OK,I'll try it, but i dont think it will work"
He then took my card number and then asked me to confirm the details of the previous owner!! He then refused to continue with the call as i could not confirm the previous owners billing details! He started sprouting off about the Data Protection Act etc, lol
I finally gave up after about 30 minutes.
Now my questions....
Do you need to confirm the details of the old user, who is no longer a subscriber?
Can a Dreambox activate my card?
