Thread: New SKY NDS viewing cards from April - what will happen?

But what process stops it from viewing at least the six mix if its placed in another box , if its not killed ?

My blue cards are fine. But then I'm in the habit of only putting the cards into the box when I actually want to watch one of the FTV channels. When not watching, or watching just a FTA channel, I pull the card out. I'm doing my utmost to ensure it never receives a kill signal to disable the card completely, and so far it's managed to be in the box long enough on occasions to receive keep alive signals for the FTV channels.

It's possible that at the same time Sky sends the new card, they tell the OLD card (via satellite) to only let you use it on the box it is paired to (for all channels). The simplest way to test my theory is for someone to put their...

Only worry if you receive on screen messages and haven't got a card within a week or so... the phone number on the message...

Still haven't received my new viewing card. Haven't received any on-screen messages either. I thought someone said that we were all supposed to get our new viewing cards by July? Well we're almost into July and there is no sign that my new viewing card will turn up anytime soon.

Blue Cards now show message "You Card is Invalid"
