The Sly freesat card is send UN-ACTIVTED in the post, this has to be activated in a Sly box, during the call, they ask for the serial number of the box, and the software version.

So why did the silly sod on the phone, who actually asked me what box i was using , not bother to tell me this???

I had to borrow a box from a local Sly installer

Once the card is activated, it can be placed into the VU+ running CCcam or similar and used right away.

HTH
