Another SKY/FTA Question!!!

    Hello,

    Just got SKY Digital installed and everything is ok.
    I had an another sky digibox from an previous address and got the installer to put in a dual LNB, one to feed the Sky Digital and the second to feed the second digibox which is installed upstairs. My plan is to use the second digibox to distibute the FTA channels around to the TVs upstairs (through an amp) via the RF output.
    The problem is that when I tune the TV upstairs into the second digibox, I am getting a SKY blue screen with a mesaage to insert a valid viewing card.

    I thought you did not did a card to view the free channels.
    Any ideas on what I need to fix this???


    Regards
    Liam K

    FTA channels do not require any card

    Or if there is an old out-of-date card in the box, remove it.
