him all i have sboix9000hd and a sky hd reciever (the hdmi connection on sky box got damaged when box fellof tv shelf straining the hdmi cable) so was using sky box for normal tv channels vie scart .

although i am no longer with sky , i get constant error messages on screen saying the card is invalid.

there is another post here re using a sky card with sbox but mentions inputing the skyboxes (boxkey) into the spiderbox , where would i find the skys boxkey and where /how could it be entered into sbox?


i ask because sky around about xmas quite often show some films unencryted for a few days.

thank you

try this tool https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthread.php?134912-Dreambox-Config-Creator-v0-9-3-Boxkey-Generator&highlight=spiderbox+boxkey

then enter it using the red button in the menu after entering the accessory section that says n d s (with the card in)

it is only of use if you actually subscribe to films and sport however

I have updated this thread now too https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthread.php?151927-simple-guide-to-setting-up-a-Spiderbox-HD

its 8 characters in hexadecimal (not digits)

you can tell that when you press the red button
