HI ALL

Admin! Hope I have posted in the right section. :)

OK! I am asking here if anyone has any of the old Sky cards hanging around (dark blue with yellow house logo) that they no longer require. If so and you would like to give it a new home then please message me as I would be interested.

Thanks peeps! :D:D:D:D:D:D
 
Already onto that one, Martin. If I can just get my hands on it! :) But there may some fourm members who might have one knocking about in a drawer or something.
 
Any particular reason why? They arent active any longer. They may still regionalize a box to the assigned region but thats as far as it goes.
 
AS! The reason why I'm trying to get hold of another is that it enables the record/play function on a Sky+ box to record Freesat stuff. A mate gave me an old card 2 weeks ago and it works fine. That's why I want another as a spare or to pair with my other Sky+ box. It's an anomoly that works!!!
 
I think thats only active if its come out of of a Sky+ machine though. The function wont have been activated if it was in a single tuner box.
 
My mate never had a Sky+ machine until about 2 years ago. He bought that at a car boot sale but he kept his old card which was only in a standard Sky box. True! :)

Anyhoo, the old card fools the Sky+ into thinking it has a subscription. Bingo!

Think I may have a working one, will check tomorrow morning in an old HD box.
 
I've got loads but annoyingly none are Sky+ enabled!
 
A while back I asked a few times on this thread:

https://www.satellites.co.uk/posts/904738/

Captain Jack was kind enough to send one but it unfortunately wasn't enabled.

I'm still looking also, so good luck to find one. :)

I wouldn't mind receiving them, I don't want to take over Tony's thread, but as I mentioned I have asked previously.
I assume you have no way of testing them?

You never know with rolfw's we might end up with a few hopefully.

Fingers crossed Rolfw. :)

I would be grateful if some kind members would post them to me. Postal costs refunded naturally!!! Statalite I had no idea that you had asked before. Sorry.

Should be the yellow house one as I think the others wouldn't have been in a box with the ability to record?

If you dont have a sky HD box I wouldn't mind receiving the card, at my cost.

Although your equipment may be able to tell you the entitlements, I could cross reference those with the two FTV cards I have, to save posting?
 
Checked my "Yellow House" cards, two out of four have record function in my old Sky HD box, so if Tony1A and statalite message me their addresses, I'll post one each to you. Had been keeping them in case one of my customers wanted to keep a box recording, but in a couple of years the situation hasn't arisen.:)
