Thanks for the info mate.
I put the new one in and let it update, then tried my old one and got that message and yes the box is connected to the phone line, i never thought to unplug it lol
once your new one was put in, a signal would have been sent down the phone line to start sending the kill signal to your old one
putting your old one back in would have given the message
'initialising new viewing card, please wait'
and during this time, the card would have been wiped, id imagine it wont work for chan5 or sky3 either

no wasn't trying to pass it as m8's card it was an example ok
In theory someone could possibly have that number at sometime though, if would be the one after 123456788 lol

Have the new Sky Cards been issued and activated yet? just wondering when they go live?

Some people have them but its only a few select areas so far. Mostly the old blue ones are still being issued.
Reports are that the new card does still work in basic (initially) with dreambox's and sharing, but as long as its not placed into a sky box first. Premium channels stop working once the card is paired, and the card will only have a short time before it will stop and need to be fully activated in an original box anyway (about 10 days max). So kinda bad news, but hopefully the pairing fix will appear before all cards are replaced. At least cards aren't being destroyed when in a non-sky box, so sharing and better equipment useage should continue.

there has been a couple of post on one of the c/s forums and there is by the look of it a bit of a flaw not much being said as its they have still not done a full roll out yet but im sure this will be fixed as im sure more cards are needed to test this on

from reading on another forum it now looks like you can put your boxkey in as did before to newcs and it will work on a paired card so for anyone that has the white card and has paired it to the sat receiver you only have to converter you serial number in a hex converter and all should be ok for now but as said a serial programer is needed as well

from what a couple of people have said this programmer they talk abut is alot better trying to get the circuit digram for it,was also talking to some one to day and they said it could be made again with the likes of a socket to change the crystal when you need to even if you want it that way
Just completely failed to get a card swap log in my Sky+. Program stopped spitting out data after I pulled my old card and didn't resume when I put the new one in. Since the swap the logger has been behaving oddly and the new card data seems currupt. I've had a look at the clock to the card with a scope and it seems in the 4.5MHz region which IIRC it ought to be, and had a look at the data and the bits seem to be in the just sub 50kbit region which IIRC they should be. Has anyone else tried logging, is my logger duff or obsolete?
ive now got this running smoothly
i managed to get newcs 1.66 into a box and fool it into starting up instead of 1.65 along with mgcamd, the card is in a standard definition receiver (a technomate tm600) and working with a TM6800, a TM6900 and a DM800 for HD and as well as the TM600 its also running a TM500, DM600 and another DM500 for nearly 24 hours
the card isnt even getting warm, running at 3.57Mhz, and all receivers/channels are glitch free
