UPC Card Swap

bto · 2010-05-31 12:13:56

Hi, Received my new UPC card which has detailed instructions how to install. It does not say if the unit should be powered on or off during procedure. I think it should be off but that's no help because it doesn't say. Anybody know? Thanks. www.upc.ie/cardswap

I had to do this the last year, i just followed the steps to download software, then before bed i changed the card and left the box on while i done this.

I had digital + box

And all went well

Security is the main one.

The card is just for encryption decoding, it won't improve your service at all but it will help UPC in their crusade against dodgy boxes.
