    My FTA recordable blue card has packed up today when I tried to record something. Hadnt used it for a month, wonder if I left it in the box for a while would it help?

    If you leave it in overnight or for a couple of days it should get the keys it needs to reactivate it.If they're not used for a while they go inactive.

    If your box has updated to the latest software version which is R011.075.60.00P
    that might be the reason its stopped working.

    Dead in the water for me too. I had a bit of hassle with my FTA + card too, but leaving it in the box for a few hours had it working again.

    Looks like my fta+ card is toast too.... Maybe it's the box but I can't get the UK epg to load at all... Even unplugging and restarting with the card inserted is leaving me with a non operational irish epg..

    All the blue UK region cards I have still load the UK EPG onto my hd box and it has the latest firmware on it.

    I tried it on my other box but that didn't load the UK epg either. Are you rebooting the box or just swapping the cards" on the fly " as such?

    I tried it on the other box using the reboot method and the f***er is working perfectly !!! I think the first box is faulty because if I even touch the body of the box the picture disappears. All connections are perfect.

    Do the old + boxes need two connections? The card should still work but just record the channel that is on screen,wont be able to watch another channel!

    I mean unplugging the box and then changing cards instead of changing cards while the box is still on.

    I'd do the same myself but can't find a way to record, pause, rewind the saorview channels without ending up with two boxes and three remotes!!! Any suggestions gratefully appreciated...
