  1. My Dad has subscribed to sky for years and is a little worried that he might have problems himself if he phones for me but I thought he could pretend he had a spare box in a garden shed or something that his son in law has set up just for free channels and then get this sorted for me, do you think this would be too risky ?  I'll try switching off and on again and then try with the other card and I'll keep you posted, thanks for the help.
  2. Yes Ron, I still get ITV2 etc but I had these before on a non-sky box so I thought it was just Channel 4 and Five that were "decrypted" with the sky card even though I don't pay anything for them.  I had understood that the sky box and card were "married" to each other so to speak as I have another sky card that is in a box that doesn't work, could I swap the cards ?  I haven't phoned sky at all, I just know that I got loads of free channels for some strange reason then they all got zapped away along with my Channel 4 and Five.  I was thinking of getting my dad to phone sky in the UK (he lives in UK so ok to do so I think) and say that he has a spare box in his bedroom and just wants the card married to the box so that he can watch the free channels, is this a good idea ?????
  3. Yes George, I tried this but still no joy.  I'm at a loss what to do, does anyone know how to get my Ch4 and Five back ?
  4. Hi, I've had the skybox second hand since March of this year and the sky card that is in the box is the original one.  It has up until now worked fine with no hitches and I've had Channel 4 and Five all the time.  I haven't done anything recently that would cause any problems, it just coincided with these extra channels coming on and then disappearing and taking my Channel 4 and Five with them !  Anything I can do to get them back ?
  5. My sky box has been working fine (second hand) with a sky card in etc just receiving all the free channels you can get. About 2 weeks ago I found that I had loads of channels for free like Discovery, Sky sports etc which I presumed were given to me to entice me to pay for them and then they would be taken away.  Well, they have been taken away but I now can't get Channel 4 or Five either and the message on my screen says "this viewing card is not authorised, please call broadcaster for assistance".  what has happened ?  What can I do ?  I haven't changed anything and I'm annoyed that I have lost Channel 4 and Five. Please help.....
