Re: SkyHD box card pairing
@Mike571 Is this a replacement Sky+HD box? If so you can no longer pair your card to another box.

Re: SkyHD box card pairing
So basically Sky+, being a legacy package, is no longer supported by Sky.
If it applies to you, you can't pair a viewing card to any other Sky+ / Sky+HD box that it wasn't paired to at the end of October 2024.
You can still call Sky to discuss your options which will be upgrading to Sky Q or moving to Glass / Steam to continue to view Sky content through a Sky subscription.

Why do you need to do that?

Re: SkyHD box card pairing
I doubt that will happen to be honest.

The viewing card will be locked to your old box as cards for the past 12 months are not transferable between boxes

Did you tell Sky that it was a different box?
