Replacing Sky Digibox and pairing old viiewing card.

Hi

Our old Sky Digibox died, so we replaced it with another one bought off eBay.

Its connected up and working fine.

We cancelled our Sky SPorts package a couple of months ago - but will be resubscribing in March/April.

1) Our Sky Viewing card wont obviously work in the new box - how can we get it 'paired' up even though we dont have a current sub with Sky?

2) Also, the channels are set up for the North East (Eng)- how can we get them so that 101/102/103 etc are showing the Welsh regional channels? (if possible).

All replies will be thanked:beer: .

    Your cancelled Sky card will work in *any* Sky Digibox to get you CH4, five, Sky3, etc. plus the Free To Air programmes that don't need a card.

    It doesn't need to be paired up until you renew your subscription. When your card is inserted you might find that it puts ITV back to your own region but normally the Digibox "remembers" the postcode associated with its last Sky card.

    When you renew your subscription, be sure to mention that you have your original card but a replacement box. They'll need the card serial number and the box serial number and version number from the menu screen.
