what channel to activate an old sly card

[echelon]

If you have an old Sly box can you use your old card in that to get FTV CH4 & 5 ?

I put it in and it said something about not matching the box

ch4 and ch5 are free to air , so no card required

if you wanted the scrambled version of ch5 then the card and box seem to have to match since the newest updates , whereas earlier this year the card would update and work in any box

boxes not updated seem unaffected by the above , but it seems that it is going to matter

but to answer the question , ch4 and ch5 can be had free to air so no card required

c4HD needs an updated card , and a suitable cam or suitable box to work , as it is still scrambled

[coach]

So I guess I have to retune c4 & c5 to the non scrambled channels and use the "other channels" feature to get them as an FTA?

Or is there another method.

What other fta's are available on a retune?

[echelon]

check lyngsat for free channels on 28e

ch4 is free to air and not scrambled anyway , so you wont have to add that in other channels as it should be on 104 and free to air

ch5 fta will have to be added in other channels and selected manually , or use a suitably updated blue card or whatever for it to work on 105

c4HD needs the updated card anyway as it is still scrambled

I have two sly boxes and for the basic package its doesn't need to be in the "correct" box

once a box has been locked to the white card it wont go in another box m8

already tested a few blue cards and one white card in several boxes

my lad has a box with a paired blue card on free to view , and his card wont work here and no other blue cards work in his box

ny blue paired card wont even work on my paired box since I changed to the white one

so believe me , its changed and not as simple as it used to be

Echh - happy new year. Just a quickie, sometime over xmas my "blue house" expired sly card which WAS getting me CH4 HD fine... has since gone scrambled.

Will this reactivate do you know, in the usual way, you know, if i leave in my pukka sly box on sky 3 for instance (FTV)!?

Or has something changed to now stop this....?

Ta mate.

Hi, sky have isued new cards, ie the white ones, and the intention was to switch off the blue ones so your card is now dead.

If you go to the sky site as here

if i PAID for a proper FREESAT card, will that get me CH4 HD? even though its not strictly FREESAT, but the channel is FTV rather than FTA.

No mate, not in a Dragon/T-Rex cam at any rate!
Cant speak for Diablo as never had one, but seems that would be an expensive way anyway?
Plus works fine directly into patched TM6900HD Super WITHOUT a cam!

If you put the box into standby it will go to 11778.00 V 27500 2/3 if you are on the Astra 2A North beam. On a digibox that would be one of the two Multichoice channels. That carries the updates as well as the EPG data.

Are the Yellow House Cards still updating.

Haven't used mine for a while so left it on overnight and it is still stuck on entitlements with the latest being 20-2-2010.

I have a yellow house ftv card in my TM9100 and it's updating to 11-4-2010 with the exception of provider B765 which is still stuck at 28-2-2010. Not sure if this one will or not as I generally leave it on a FTA channel most days.

[Detlef]

Thanks for that. Seems as though I just need to be patient.
