    Tried phoning Primetime, but my "Sky Viewing Card Number Is Not Recognised".

    I've triple and quadruple checked and IT'S RIGHT!!!!!

    Anyone else had the problem?

    There's no option to talk to human.

    Yeah i have had the same thing.Apparently it means your sky isn't hooked up to the phone line,so you can't order it.I've had to order the ****ing stream.

    I had the same problem. Sky told me it was because the phone line isn't plugged in to my sky box. I need to buy one tomorrow, just hope it works

    Phoned Sky who confirmed that my skybox is connected and that all the details I gave are correct.

    I've emailed that address.

    Oh ****. I can't see any fraud going on but I can see a lot of us missing this fight through Sky. ****ing BBC ignoring a true world champion defending at home, really wish I didn't have to pay those lefty *******s anymore.

    Yeah, I'm very wary about this whole thing but I've still handed over my details!

    me too. I have no idea if this has worked at all. I completed the TV section on the website, gave them my address, viewing card number, email and phone number & credit card. I got a message saying they would take the £2.50 reg fee and I would only be billed for what I watch. No automated email or anything from them to say all is good. I plugged sky into the phone line (hadnt had it plugged in before as I moved recently) before I did any of this. I guess we find out tommorrow night at 8! I want £2.50 back if this f**ks up tho

    its a nightmare jim!

    you would think as cards and numbers are in involved that they would have that 'speak to an advisor' option aswell?

    i may have to attempt the stream, zzzzzz :(
