just got my digitalb card today and guess it will be too late to get it activated tomorrow and the card is working in some kind of preview mode where all the channels except premium 1-5 are working

isn't the premium channels in the preview till activation ?

also gives me an incentive to get the andrews dish up or sort out current one as tp 11.449h is 80% signal on tm1500 but 11.092v is like 74% so tweak needed maybe or cause weather is overcast

so far the channels are quite good but i only paid for supersport channels and also strange why a lot of them have italian soundtrack

got mine from them too, just waiting for sports channels to come on i have the others which i didn't pay for though

how long did it take for the card to be activated ?

It should activate within a few hours of you emailing him, you did do that didn't you?

You will need to ring Craig P if it isn't on by now, his number should be with the paperwork you got with the card. P.M me if you don't have it.

He'll tell you to put your receiver on a specific channel, It was Digi+ for me as i only have the films but for the football i think you have to put it on Premium 1 :?

He will then get Digitalb to send an activation signal. It can take anything upto 5hrs for your card to be activated depending on how busy DigitAlb are

Just ring Craig and he'll get everything sorted out for you

yep i emailled him last night and just called him up on that 01706 number and seems nice enough, he checked the card number on his pc and its on the list that digitalb have to activate

he also said they have over 3000 cards to activate this weekend so could take up to 5 hours and that they are running behind

plenty of people seem satisfied from the feedback on ebay

card now working and what surprises me is the english commentary on the bayern munich game i'm watching on premium 1 channel, not seen any providers do that other than sly/setanta

picture quality is rather good on my sony tv, its only a 4:3 so dont know what it would be like on a lcd or plasma
