Sky 3 no longer FTV???

[Davei]

Sky 3 has gone black on my Dreambox 7025 using a FreesatFromSky card (with CCcam) - but I'm still getting the Five suite of channels. I've tried transferring the card to my old Sky box and leaving it in, hoping that it might update, but I can't get Sky 3 on that either (only the standard message about upgrading subscription). Meanwhile, _http//www.freesatfromsky.co.uk are still promoting Sky 3 as part of their package.

Can anyone confirm that Sky 3 is now a pay channel (via sat)? (Or could it be my card at fault?)

Just checked,Its still free to view.
How long did you leave the card in the Sky digibox?
It can take up to 72 hours to update.

Thanks for that, Sat-World. So far the card's been in the Sky box for little more than 24 hours, so I'll give it a bit longer.

It's all a bit odd though, as I've had it in the Dreambox for 21 months without any problems till now (and the Dreambox has definitely been updating the card - as was evident last year when I got a free trial of several pay TV services).

Could it be a PID problem(not updating) with the Dreambox,since the rebrand from Sky Three to Sky3?
Have you tried deleting the channel and rescanning and then inserting the card.
As you say the Dreambox,is one of the few receivers that keeps the "alive" signal up to date.

Actually, it's since doing a rescan on the Dreambox that Sky 3 disappeared. At present, the card is in the Sky box and, at time of writing, there's still no Sky 3.

It's back now! - a few more hours in the Sky box did the trick. Anyway, having now put the card back in the Dreambox, I'll keep an eye on the entitlements in CCcam Info and see what happens when the card's next due to update.
