pairing a card on SKY +

I have been trying to pair my Sy card on my SKY + HD box.

 Going through the page on the web site.

The link on the  ' activate my channels.sky.com/activate ' just loops back to the previous page. Impossible to find out how to pair my card.

Can someone correct this or report it to the webmaster ?Activate.JPGSky viewing help.JPG

Try performing a New Install, this also pairs your card 🙂

See question Q21 in my Sky Plus F⋅A⋅Q

Re: How do I pair my sky card to Sky+ HD box (not Sky Q box)

Hi , 

 I have been trying to pair my sky card to sky box + HD. I have tried using the web site , and the  link on the page just loops back to the previous page, so no help there !

 I have read through ALL the proposed answers  and gone onto settings on my sky box, but there is no page  to  initialise/activate/reactivate the card, as one can see in the picture of my screen. So where do I go from here ?

Thank you for your help.

A New Install does a callback and pairs the currently inserted card,

 

You need to follow the instructions in my FAQ, don't try analysing each step as you go

@dmdb do you have a Sky TV subscription?

 

Edited to add: I've added your other thread to this one. Multiple threads on the same issue are confusing.

Re: pairing a card on SKY +

My problem is that I  have sky  neither broadband nor a telephone line connected to my sky box. I presume with neither that my remning option is to call ?

Thank you for taking so much time to answer these questions by the way  !

Nothing happens until you press SELECT so the sequence is SERVICES 0 0 1 SELECT

 

Anyhow,phone Sky and get them to pair your card remotely

 

A phone number is given on a link on the page linked to below:

 

There is also Sky's How can we help? page
(make sure the correct country is selected at the bottom of the page)
