    Default gold card trubbles

    hope im in the right section.
    Bought a legit sat tv setup complete package. paid $90 for Aurora card and $55 to activate Imparja.

    as i was leaving he hands me a white card,i says whats this,he says ita a gold card,ready to use.

    Ok,i setup my system using the genuine aurora and everything is sweet.

    change over to the gold card and it says "card initalyzing" then nothing...

    no matter what channel is just blank... Am i doing something wrong or is it a bad card ???

    Im NEW,please help...

    Ty

    Possibly only needs to update the card,

    leave it in the box on an Aurora channel (such as an ABC or SBS channel or Win, GWN, 7 Central, or Imparja) for a couple of hours,

    (It should say someting like program scrambled on the screen)

    the card usually updates within an hour & pictures appear on the TV,

    What brand set top Box do you have,

    It can be other things that are the problem, but, this is a start

    Good Luck

    yes thats the only extra you get
    personally i would rather have that than foxtel
    as for your other questions on selectv ,austar and foxtel the answer is no they cant be done austar and selectv could be done until they issued countermeasures and as for foxtel there were rumours around that a red card existed for it but nothing ever came of it so i doubt if there was any truth to it
