Update your subscription

Ellisemae — Wed, 29 May 2024 09:10:28 GMT

Hello, my box is not allowing me access at all and just has the message to update subscription. I called sky this morning and they said they needed to refresh the line it would take 30 minutes. It's been over an hour and the box is still saying update subscription. My bill is paid and I have reset the box a few times but to no avail.

Hi @Ellisemae

Afraid you are not contacting Sky directly here as this is a customer forum.
If you need to contact them you need to persevere by phone.
To contact Sky
Select Need more help
at the bottom of the following link and this will lead to a phone contact.

Regarding your issue

First check that your viewing card is correctly inserted. Viewing card is in the right hand end of the box.
If it is in correctly there is not enough of it sticking out to grip and remove it.
Push it fully in and it will pop out slightly enough so you can remove it.
Make sure that it is in chip side up and chip end in first. Push it gently fully in and you should feel a slight click when it is engaged. If it has popped out enough to remove it is not located correctly.
If you are satisfied that it is in correctly
Try refreshing your Viewing card.
Home - Settings - System info.
Highlight Viewing card number and then select Setup on the right hand side.
Then select Use this option to trigger a callback

No call is actually made but the Viewing card should be refreshed.
