    Help 2 Sky box Issue

    Just a quick question, I bought a Sky HD+(2tb) box off ebay and I put me card out of me old sky HD+(1tb) into the 2tb one and paired it but now it just says "Wrong viewing card" looking on net I have to leave card in the new box for upto 72 hours for it to pick up.

    But what I want to do is have both sky boxes on so I can watch and record on the 2tb box and watch all the stuff I have previously recorded on me 1tb box until its cleared down, as looking on net the card can only be active for 1 box so I would have to repair and wait 72hours each time I swapped over to different box which would defeat the object.

    Any ideas on how I can accomplish this or is there and easy way of transferring the saved stuff from 1tb box to the 2tb box without removing the HD's, I know I could back up the 1tb to DVD's but that is just laborious

    Thanks

    No its not possible.

    Best thng to do is bite the bullet take out the hard drives and use ExPVR to transfer your old recordings to the new boxes hard drive.

    I had to do this and its better than pissing about.

    Yeah is a pain in the arse thought SKY would make it a little easier, especially when their boxes are always blowing up.

    Thank ;-)
