why does the smart card need to be paired with the box if it was working before you just need to update the keys.

Depending on what type of card U have, u will need to re-write a new exteep file (assuming u got ur BK & IRD), with the new keys in it, which can be found on the Bigmaq toolbar... Google for the toolbar..U will find it out there..
Then read up on how to program your particular type of card..There are a few tutorials in here which are a must read..

IF it is saying the card is invalid that that would mean that the IRD or BK is wrong, if the keys were wrong then the channels ould appear but no visual or audio.

Absolutely. I am sure that card never worked with that box.
