Free Box Office Interactive Card

I received a letter through the post yesterday from Sky that had an interactive card to give me one free box office movie. Has anyone got one of these and have you managed to get it to work?

It comes with instructions that say to insert the card in the interactive slot and then go into Sky Active and follow the instructions. I do this but no instructions are in Sky Active.

I've just rang Sky and their Indian CSR didn't have a clue what I was talking about.

Anyone got this to work?

You've not missed out on much as the card doesn't seem to work...

Don't think this is the problem as I can access Sky Active, look up my statement etc which wouldn't be possible if my phone line wasn't connected.

The funniest thing about this is that Sky sent me this card to me to say thanks for for my custom. Shame it doesn't work....

You got to press the yellow button when the menus appear. It then dials up and registers you for a free box office movie. Unfortunately I chose the Tenacious D movie oh well!

Thanks for this. But I still can't get it to work. When do you press the yellow button? Is it when you go into Sky Active? Because when I go into Sky Active and press yellow nothing happens.

It maybe that you have to take out the card and put it back in whilst in the sky active section. I know that mine timed out. When you re insert you should get the yellow button appear in the bottom left hand corner.Other than that i aint got a scooby.

Thanks! I'll try tonight taking the card out and putting it back in again when in Sky Active. Hopefully it'll work this time...
