Is there any info on pairing boxes ?

Has anyone else had the same problem? Since changing the to the Sky card on my Sky HD box I have had nothing but problems.
Freezing, no sat signal etc. It will not accept my previous card and Sky do not seem to want to know!
Anyone had a similiar problem?

try turning the system off, unplug from the mains (leave off for 1 minute) , give your card (chip side) a wipe with a damp cloth, put card back in and switch system back on.

How can you reset on a sky hd box with the new sky guide - there is no System Setup menu option. I am getting No Satellite Signal message but signal is fine on neighbors box who is using same dish.

Press Services followed by 0, 0, 1 and Select

This will then display the Setup Menu

Use Sky+ Rebuild first as this will retain and recordings.

If no use Sys Reset will erase all recordings and planner info.

Guys, does the viewing card need to be inserted to view ITV HD? Ive added channel manually, but it doesnt show up in the other channel menu where it should! Does viewing card need to be inserted for it to work?

I phoned sky who did stage 1 with me, this did not work and they said i would need an engineer at ?65. I said i would think about it not having any spare cash for this luxury. I tried your stage 2 as illustrated on here and it worked. You saved me some stress and money. Thank you! PS, if I was elderly I would have paid the money thinking that sky know best.... they could have done stage 2 with me over the phone. Disgusted with sky.
