[QUOTE="guest, post: 584540"] That all seems fine - the Firmware is sufficiently up to date. I really do not understand how come so many Cards were apparently faulty, but the main thing is you are now up and running. One wild stab in the dark: The box has only recently updated, perhaps, owing to your habit of leaving it powered down at crucial times. Then there is the issue of keeping the Card alive - bear this in mind: If your working Card suddenly seems to have given up the ghost in a few weeks time, it will be because it has missed the periodic signals required to keep it alive. In which event, the Card can take up to 72 hours to "wake up" again, in a powered up (Standby will be fine) Box. One last thing: Although your Firmware is ok, it isn't the very latest. Ver 3.7.6 is the latest and introduces Auto Standby. Most people disable it as it really does not save much power (owing to the terrible design of legacy SkyBoxes) and is just a nuisance. Thanks for an interesting Thread! :) [/QUOTE]
