sky 1 updating card

[ITS A SCAM !]

Well, card has NOT been updated in the original digibox..I have done a forced update and then left card in original digibox for many hours...Has anyone got any other ideas ?? Is it safe for me to turn on Automatic updates within Newcs ? And will this update the card even though i only have 2 connections in the Newcs panel

[ohno]

like i said it will update 20days before entitlements run out possibly 30 days, if you leave it till 7days before it will update 100% within 12 hrs{overnight} 48hrs before it will update within 6 hours. these times are maximum times for update.

Thanks for the help......I decided this morning to wait until 1 week before its due to expire, then it will go back into the original STB.....I cannot do with all this messing about.....I was really happy with CCcam updating my card, but when loads of cards got dmamged by a bad update, i am reluctant to use CCCam at the moment..Kindest regards

good idea matey, play safe

Yeah....i still cannot see why it had not updated in original box.....over a 2 week period its been in the original STB about 4 days.....seems fishy to me....

Ok here is the latest.......I have actually updated my card by using CCCam 2.1.3 and i only accepted EMM's from 2 peers.

different kind of update glic
these are entitlements updates for the card, these updates are got in stream via either the original stb or or your dreambox using cccam or via your peers etc, the other update is a firmware update for the original stb that WILL wipe your recordings, its basically a factory reset for sky boxes that wipes everything and updates the firmware

You don't have to wait for an Update you can force an Update, Place the card into the Sky Receiver and follow.

1) Locate the button on the front of the Receiver, named "Back Up".

2) Press and hold down the "Back Up" button...

3) WHILE HOLDING IT DOWN, disconnect then reconnect the power to the receiver (do not release the back-up button yet).

4) About 20 seconds after reconnecting power, all four coloured lights will illuminate on the front of the receiver.
If the TV is switched to Sky a message will also appear on screen.. "Updating System Software".

5) Only after the four lights illuminate and the message appears should you release the back-up button.


6) After about 10 minutes the reciever will return to "standby" (ie. red LED only).

7. Leave the receiver in standby for 1 minute as it carries out a self check.

8). Switch receiver out of standby (green LED illuminates).

9) The receiver will take a few minutes "Searching For Listings".

This will update the firmware of the receiver and any card updates you have missed.

this is what i was refering to m8 if it is forcing an update of the card and an update of the firmware will it wipe whats recorded on the box

If you the owner of that card, just got to Activate my channels, if you not registered do so, and activate your card. Make sure card is on his receiver

It comes back on nearly instantly
