Hi all, I purchased a netgem free view box in December 2004. There's a card slot on the side which I assumed was for when I wanted to use a top up card to gain more channels. However, when I phoned netgem to order a top up card today I was told I would have to purchase a device that slots into the card slot then the card slots into that device. The device is £39.99, the registration is £20.00. and the top up card is ££7.99 per month. ~They say I can purchase another netgem box at £89.00 which doesn't need the device, so who's got ripped off here? Does anyone know whether I can use the card slot in the side of the netgem box with a top up card without the need of the device that has to (according to netgem) accompany the top up card? Why is the card slot there if one cannot use it? I hope others on this list who are thinking of getting the netgem free view AD box reads this message first. Regards. Jim. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
