    White card update in Spiderbox, Urban myth or not?

    Hi heard a rumor that a Spiderbox can pass the stay alive details you need to have updated on the White **** cards to stop them from going dead & needing replaced into the original paired **** box. True or not? If it is true this would be a first for a none Linux based box. Cheers.

    Can a provider kill your card while it's in a Spider?? Or will it just stop working when it reaches the expiry date in the entitlements??

    Yes, I know, but mine stopped working. So, rather that put it back in my sly box I left it in Spider for it to update, but I hasn't, yet.

    Satcat - did you need a boxkey or anything?

    I got a FSFS white a while back but it's never activated while I've had it in the Spider. Pulled it out now and whacked in a (preactivated) Italia card which seems to be working perfectly but I would like my white UK one to get working.

    No.
    I don't subscribe to any package, my card is one I got given by someone who did, but stopped. So the card is only used to open C4HD, 5HD and the other FIVE channels.
    It took 3 days to activate, but all I did was leave Spider on FIVE HD and leave it switched on. (obviously keep dish on 28E)

    So this proves Darkman speaks the truth! A white card will update in a spider! Now if only he'd get back to me on the Italian card.......
