History
2018-06-04: analog channels still work, but they will be terminated on 2018-06-12.
2018-06-02: verified that I can no longer watch Digital channels (subscription ended on 2018-06-01, because of termination of services).
2018-01-24: I got a message from Get - problems with services in my area. The message at get.no reads:
24 Jan 2018 kl. 12:30 Informasjon, Tjeneste utilgjengelig, Analog-TV, Filmleie, Telefoni, Digital-TV, Bredbånd Grunnet nødvendig feilretting i ditt område
kan kunder oppleve brudd i tjenestene tidsrommet 12:00 til 14:00 i dag. Vi beklager ulemper dette medfører.
ok. Got a new message at 14:12 local time - fault fixed, services restored.
2017-11-28: Get - I got a letter that the collective Digital TV service has been notified for termination (by my housing coop, I knew about this). Get warns that this means that all services from get will be terminated 31.1.2018, and signals disconnected from 1.2.2018.

2017-03-12: this evening, tvheadend can't descramble several of my mandatory channels. Restarting OSCam doesn't help.
2016-05-08: at 12:05 I got a text message from Get: "Grunnet oppgradering av systemer vil TV tjenester fra Get være utilgjengelig for deg tirsdag 10/05-16 mellom kl 01:00 og kl 02:00. Vi håper på forståelse for dette. Vennlig hilsen Get. -sms ref:003810".
2016-01-27: I sent another activation request to GET, let me see if this fixes the card.
2015-05-24: ok, after setting up the new card in OSCam, and sending an activation request (via SMS) I'm up and running again.
2015-05-24: the package contains a Box with the Get Mikro. Inside the box is a smaller "envelope" with the crypto card (programkort) and installation instructions. The label on the box (and on the underside of Get Mikro) has the NDS number which you need to calculate a boxkey. This NDS number is 16 characters, use 6 - 15 as the starting point for conversion.
Scanning the new crypto card:

that is all.
2015-05-23: I got a pick-up message, and picked up the package at my local PIB (Rimi Trondheimsveien).
2015-05-21: I ordered a Get mikro box (cost free).
2015-05-21: got another SMS today; my current box is now shut down (I tested and the crypto card doesn't work anymore either).
2015-05-12: today I got a text message (SMS) on my phone reminding me that the current box will stop working on May 19th, 2015 and that I should order a new one (cost free).
2015-05-05: I got a letter (ok, a pamphlet then) from Get in my (physical) mailbox today, stating that I have to replace the Get decoder box (the original "Get box") with a new model, the old one will stop working on May 19th, 2015. The new model is Get box Mikro, it looks like the only connection to the TV is via a HDMI cable. I wonder if the smartcard (crypto card) will stop working too?

2013-04-03: at approximately 20:18, all signals (Internet and TV) from Get disappeared again. Upon checking, a technician from Get was working, replacing the old signal amplifier with a new one. He said it would be about 30 mins - one hour and he would be finished. At 21:30, the connection was back up again.
2013-04-03: The internet connection (and TV too) has been down between 00:18 and 19:25 (approximately), because the circuit breaker had tripped. I reset it, and now we are back.
2012-08-08: this evening, the service (all service) from Get is down:

tjenester fra Get. Berørte addresser er: Thorvald Meyers Gate 85 G-K Våre teknikere jobber med å rette feilen. Get beklager de ulemper dette vil kunne

So, currently no broadband, no TV. Let's see how long it takes before they're up again.

That's all.
2012-01-31: I found time to actually opening the package this evening. The Digital TV "Start" package includes:
1 x Get box 1 x NDS CA
More detailed this is:
1 x smartcard (NDS CA) 1 x user manual 1 x antenna cable 1 x SCART cable 1 x decoder box, complete with remote control and batteries.
The decoder box isn't new, it has some scratch marks. It is labeled "KCF - 2000NS". The serial number is: 4dafbf01690558074.
2012-01-28: I picked up the package from Get at the post office. Two boxes, one for broadband (Internet access) and one for Digital TV (decoder ++). No sign of the wireless router or the usb modem for "mobile broadband".
2012-01-26: I ordered "Bredbånd M (20/2)" from Get. At the same time I also ordered the Digital TV "Start" package. Get advertising says the a wireless router and a usb modem for "mobile broadband" will be included.
