I don't think so you will need to fill in a form and send to them, and wait until they reply, once done via phone you can then renew online, they will send an email to you.

Sorry Wombat-not true
you can complete the form online and it is usually processed within minutes or at worst a few hours. I have set up several that way and it is usually very quick.
To Snap- complete the online form and see how you go. they will send you a confirmation email to ensure your email account is valid.

Hey Wombat-no worries mate I think I might have misread your post.
I thought you were indicating that snap had to fill in a paper form and mail or fax it in.
my apologies.

The last one I set up was just after new years
I completed the form online and submitted it and the box was on air a half hour later after clicking on the confirmation link in the email that came back.
Most of the setups I have done have been pretty quick.

when I first did mine a few years ago, they phoned me and asked for the decoder to be switched on and did the connection, that was after 4 days of waiting, good to see things have improved.
snap1946 should have his going sometime today, unless he has already seen your post and is too busy watching tv

Wombat you can get online and do a "rehit" which will send the authorisation codes within seconds of you clicking the button any time of day or night.

hi all

G'day Snap
they can hook up to your dish IF;
you have a dual output LNB (two connectors)
they have a satellite receiver like you do
their coax cable is long enough
if all those conditions are met the answer is YES
if ANY one of them is not met the answer is NO
There may be other ways but they would mean both TV sets would see the same channel/program
does that help?

Hey Wombat, can you just picture the "other people" just getting to an interesting bit in a program and snap decides to surf the channels??????
