Sky Card not working

Pason

Got a used Sky Box with card I think its a sub card. The card wasn't in receiver when I got it but the receiver was working on the free to air channels including Channel 4, E4, etc. But then when I put the card in the box a notice came up saying this is the wrong card for this set top box etc.
When I put the card into the box on the system details menu the same number comes up as on the card.

Could anyone tell me what could be wrong?

Hope I explained ok!

Thanks.

Cards are matched with receivers, those errors you describe appear if the card has been out of it's original receiver for more than 6 weeks or so.

That card is useless to you, you don't need the card to get the Free to air channels .

if its a white card. leave it in the box overnight.

The box doesn't need any card to receive the free to air channels.
