If the Sky card in this STB has, at some time, been enabled - but has just not been used for a long time it can take some time (up to 48hours) for it to start working again.

Leave the box in 'standby' or 'on' on any channel, and C5 (and C4) should return. As Brian says, this can take up to 48hrs to happen. Though I did similar last week, and it only took an hour. -- Mark Please replace invalid and invalid with gmx and net to reply.

If after waiting a few days you still have no joy then either the card is faulty or the card reader in the digibox is faulty. Determine which by putting in a known good card & trying the card in another known good digibox. If it is a faulty card then order a new one for 20 pounds by calling 0870 2405651 http://www.freesatfromsky.com/ -- Cheers Nigel Barker Live from the sunny Cote d'Azur
