Question: New Sky box/New Solus card

Here's one for you...

I have one of the original PACE digital reeivers with one of the new SOLUS
cards. Card is authorised and I can view all the FTA/FTV channels available.

I have now picked up a second-hand digibox which is a much newer version
than my original PACE which is horrendously slow.

My question is - can I authorise the SOLUS card on the new box since SKY/BBC
are no longer issuing them?

Cheers

You don't need to. Just slot it in.

The answer is - you don't need to authorise it. Just stick it in.

thx simon....but what i meant was don't the cards have to be 'matched' witha
particular digibox?

Not for reception of ITV-1, C4 and Five. And as that's all they decode now,
that's all you need to worry about.
