After some months working away from home Im back and have fired the old dream back up again and configured for the white sly card

However my premium channels will not work and I suspect this is a result of my boxkey

I beleive I have configured CCcam as it is reading the card and showing all other channels I also have configured the boxkety section corectly as from the telnet session I can see it is reading and displaying the correct boxkey when initialising the card

I used a well know boxkeyconverter file to extract the boxkey

Anyway I think my poroblem might be as a result of my blue to white change over

When I changed over to my white card it was at the same time I got a new sly HD box However for love nor money sly could not get the card and box working together and had to send a new card

Anyways the card works fine in my hd digibox but will not work in the dream

Does anyone have any ideas

Would I get a replacement card from sky and make some excuse mine got eaten by the dog or do I get a replacement HD digibox and use existing card Im pretty sure its not the latter I should be doing

Any advice befoire I do take this action?

If sly sports 1 hd is breaking up then check Discovery HD too and if that is the same then my guess is you have a clone db800.

Its not a problem just get yourself a in line amp and place near the LNB end.

change view to scientific (xp) or programmer (win7)
enter your decimal number then click on the hex button,
if you only get 7 digits just add a zero at the front.
