As the assembled Pistonheads massive has the greatest collection of knowledgeable people, I thought I'd ask here first!!
I have a second hand Sky digibox (Pace if that makes any difference) and a second hand Sky card (not from the same box). I can receive most of the Free to View channels, but not 4, 5 or Sky 3 which I can with my other second hand Sky system and Sky card.
I have called Sky and asked them to 'link' my card to the box and they referred me to Free2View (I think) - 08702 438000 - however, there is only a recorded message stating that they are not issuing any more cards - not a problem as I already have the card - but I need to link it to the box. Any ideas as to how to go about this? The box is for the bedroom so I'd like to have 4, 5 and Sky 3, which I currently 'enjoy' on my box downstairs.

Why not phone Sky back and tell them what you've typed here?

Must admit the 2 times I've asked them to re-link a card/digibox for me they've been only too pleased to.

Well, I've done some more searching, found another Sky telephone number, called that, and it turns out that if you leave the box connected, the cahnnels should come back in 24-48 hours - so it's just a waiting game now!
