New Sky viewing card not working
I have a new SkyQ box and Sky viewing card and keep getting this error message- Your viewing card is no longer active. If you have requested a replacement viewing card, please insert your new viewing card as soon as it arrives
I have pared the card and connected to WiFi. Rebooted several times- still not working

Re: New Sky viewing card not working
The installer should have had it working before they left.
I think some old Sky cards do not work in SkyQ boxes.
Have you done the card pairing? It is in the Services -> Setup menu.

Do you need a new viewing card? Is your current one working?

We can't because this is primarily a customer to customer help forum. We have no idea who you are or where you live.
If you need a new viewing card then you need to call Sky.
