MSN Activation Time

 
Fri, 09/07/2007 - 4:54pm

Hi, I activated my free 1 year MSN service in my new C580. It’s been 4 hours, and by 580 still says “not activated”. How long does it take?

Also, on the MSN signal strength, I get one bar (out of three). Could this be the problem? If so, is there a way of adding an external antenna?

I did install the latest MSN update yesterday.

Thanks,
Bob

Bob:

I activated my MSN service and it took about 24 hours for it to finally be activated and the latest information to be downloaded to the receiver. After that I notice that it takes anywhere from 1 to 4 hours to download data if the receiver has been unplugged or out of range.

Thanks, I'll check it

Thanks, I'll check it tomorrow.

I just got the C580 yesterday, it is great. I returned a Maestro 3140 because of too many bluetooth problems and quirky interface.
