You can always help a slow box along by warm (or cold) rebooting it or you could just do something useful like empty the dishwasher while you wait for it to register the new card.

Someone, who was very anti dishes, once told me that legally they were classed as 'sky signs' (nothing to do with BSkyB), just as billboards are, and so required planning permission. Admittedly, in those early analogue days, they tended to be larger Andrews, Canal+ or Televes dishes with the company logo and name on them which would make them a billboard-like advertisement.
These days the more common 58cm mini-dish is probably more discreet than a roof-top mast of DTT beams, an FM folded dipole loop and a dipole for DAB.
