    I think I am in trouble. I committed the card swappers sin of leaving the phoneline in for 5 mins while I was using my FTV card last night. Today I needed to use it again (with phoneline out). It worked fine but then trouble started when I tried to put my sub card back in- It came up with "For Your Information- 02 There is a problem with your viewing card Please call the broadcaster". Anyway I tried rebooting with sub card in and no good- It was only when I plugged the phone line back in that my sub card worked again- Have I been caught- and what happens to me now? It's ironic that I only arranged to get a new FTV Card this morning!

    Don't think it is anything to do with FTV card etc.

    With newer subs / new cards or Mirror Sub you must have phone line connected periodically, esp at start.

    Eventually it wont care about phone line as there is no requirement after first year. (There is a permenant requirement for both boxes on a mirror sub).

    If the FTV card still works on repower box with it in then it is OK, but even in a few hours of non use it can miss a "key" and then a SW update (hold backup on box while powering on) plus waiting up to 2 days may be needed to restore C4 or BBC.

    I dont know what you'r talking about, I swap my FTV and sub card all the time with the line connected, I am doing this about 3-4 times a week
