The setup looks a bit odd - on those pics there is a mixture of switched and motorised.

As Mickha says please list 2 or 3 channels you can get and we can start from first principles

Also the card should say which service its for if its a legit one. If you found the box though chances are the card is obsolete

It is syndrome that raises its head at times when you have a fixed 45cm dish probably aimed at 28.2 east then you are fooled into thinking that you can get Badr-4 ect in the UK with a 45cm dish as you have no positive signals & just red bars suggests that you need to find out where your 45cm dish is aimed as it will only be possible to get channels from one satellite position with a small fixed dish.

I suspect these are expired adult tv service cards.

I'm slightly intrigued by the 2017 date in the 'Star 2' subscription image. What was the card for if it was running three years back ?
The 5300 is a SD receiver so my assumption is it is a long standing service.

I still see a problem with your signal quality levels, on 13E, and in London, you should be getting much better signal quality readings.
Either your dish has moved, slightly, your cable/connections need to be checked, for water ingress/damage, or your LNB has a problem.
You should get a lot of channels, from 13E.

You dont these days - you pay the appropriate subscriptions for the service(s) you desire. The days of getting loads of pay tv services on a programmable card are long gone.
