Sky Card Change In Spain

[Analoguesat]

Can I confirm that the new card is pre-configured to the box that sky know you have? The 'please insert new card' message on the channels is becoming really
annoying - appearing every few minutes. I'll be in reception of the new card next week, but I'm hoping I won't have to lug the HD box back to the UK the next time I'm over.
thanks in advance

Its definitely preconfigured to the previous card since anyone who has more than one card - eg multiroom - gets some information as to which card a particular replacement is for as they are sent seperately.

I doubt its configured to a box - far too many folk with just the entertainment packs just swap the boxes when a box fails and dont bother getting the card re-paired to the new box as its not necessary.

My old Sky box broke 2 years ago and was replaced by a new one by myself. Sky dont know that and according to their system Ive still got an old Grundig
