when you left white card with all tiers expired to update at climax channel which channels card open when get updatedOriginally Posted by crabber
currently its motors tv , sony tv , sony tv +1 , sony movies , sony movies +1 and possibly one or two others as well (so very few)
thank you for reply
how much have to wait for update
Is climax the only channel for updates or there are others
difficult to answer the update time but I would have thought less than a day
any sly channel can be used for updating, but I tend to leave it on motors or a sony channel, then you know when its updated as the channel clears (I have never tried that channel you mentioned as I only use the ones I know about above)
I used to use c5 HD until it went dark
when I tune to an encrypted channel I got
This Is the wrong Sky viewing card for this Sky+HD box Please Insert the correct one
Is It because of Inactive card or there Is a problem with card
card does clear only BT sport preview and some XXX soft channels
leave it on sony tv for a day or two (or motors), then it should clear when the card updates
chances are that it is the "wrong card" for that box (the pairing may be incorrect but is not required) , but should still clear the channels I said once its updated (in any sly box)
you cannot expect a sly box to have a dozen error message options just to give you more info and the correct diagnosis
yes there could be a problem with the card, so if it doesnt update after a week it isnt going to
I have always used a non-sly plus box to update a card, an old pace box in my case, or the white ones (not plus ones or HD ones)
it is what it is, try it, and wait for updates, if it doesnt work, there is nothing you can do about it
give it 72 hours to update its usually within 24-48hrs
simply ignore the message This Is the wrong Sky viewing card for this Sky+HD box
it will go away when card gets some Emm hits and picture will appear .
i usually leave it for a further 45mins aswell just to be sure .
freesat cards are being phased out it obvious , its gone from more than a few dozen to maybbe half a dozen channels
and freeview periods on various channels
but card may come in handy when Sky Offer thier free to view days like first games of EPL Season i believe was offered last season etc..
but be patient and follow what echelon has said that is the key and im sure your card will be fully working if you do leave it few days untill it updates
i know it usually dont seem like it will happen but ive had the same issue myself and its never failed thanks to advise i was given by Echelon and fellow members here too .
Good luck : )
thank you for support
two more questions -
If card got activated will It open also ch4 on 12.483 V
last night I left It In sky+ HD box but after few hrs box automaticaly turned off - Is It a problem If box Is not turned on
Disable Sleep timer on Sky+ HD box menu
Its only a silly power saving setting in menu that should never be auto enabled by default anyhow .
cheers !
after more than week left working In original paired to card sky + box Amstrad 890 card still Is Inactive - does not open 4Music, etc
could be Amstrad 890C box with Rev 11 firmware does not allow card update - how about to put It In oscam linux box or other sky+ box - got Thomson sky+ box
also I am wondering how an expired card with no active entitlments can auto update with no operator action
do I need to register an acount with card and receiver nr
but at the other hand there are many expired card selling outhere and sellers claim to put In whatever box and It will update to actve 24 - 72 without calling sky etc
you were also told to try it on motors tv, and sony tv and sony movies (and the two +1`s) in post #48 ,
there may be the odd one or two other channels it may open
but those 5 are the only ones I remember still work
so try
motors tv
sony tv
sony tv +1
sony movies
sony movies +1
4music also seems to open with my card too , as do one or two pron channels
do not reply naming any other channels until the five or six channels above are working, you have been given the best advice available, but we are not miracle workers
- the card will update in ANY sly digital box, if its not totally dead
obviously it could have been completely switched off in which case there is nothing you can do about it
the card updates are sent OTA on the sly channels , so the cards are constantly updated with the expiry dates extended, as it updates the expiry dates on the card for the 8 or more entitlements
hi ive got 2 sly white cards if any good to you be glad to stick them in the post for you free if
it helps any.

could card be completely dead If opens BT preview and some soft xxx daily
thank you for very generous offer
I like to see how can go on with my card and If It can not activate probably I will contact you
cheers
