What I mean is did your box you bought secondhand work with the white freesat card straight away without having to have it activated ?

I am assuming you don't have a sub with Sky.

Could you be more specific i.e. Was the freesat card new and how did you activate it , in the ebay box without phoning sky or by 'phone to sky, also if it was not new was there a previous sub on it before you used it for freesat?

i f you could clarify these points it would be appreciated. cheers

Just to confirm for the benefit of others - you phoned from Germany to order both the card and activate it? Or was it from the UK?
