Original Card in card slot - how to configure?

[darrellr]

I'd like to use an official, subscribed SKY UK card in the S4000. What configuration is necessary?

[darrellr]

Just to be clear I currently put the card in (White Sky card) and it triggers a flurry of messages saying "initializing card" then "invalid card" ad infinitum.

I sort of assume there is something I should be configuring first

You need to activate the card first in an original sky receiver have look here https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthread.php?t=136606&highlight=card+icecrypt

It is already activate and works in other receivers. Surely I need something to act as Videoguard client in the box?

Ahhh ... So the correct process is to turn on the plugin called "MCAS".
