Got ntl today at 2.30 installed and everythings working fine....had to do things from 2.30 to 3.30 so at 3.30 i started to watch the tv and it decided to say the smart card is dislodge so i read the message and took it out then put it back in...still no hope then it said turn it off and leave it off for 20 seconds tried that still no hope...so i rang them up and now have to wait untill next monday for someone to come out and fix the darned thing

Any one had this problem and is there an easy way to fix it??

Is it the stb with just the one card slot you have(some pace have 1,others have 2),it may sound obvious but if you have the pace with 2 slots(phase 1),then try the card in the other slot!

The was a problem with the phase 3 where the card reader was buggered!
