This should not work at all.

Be careful what you do, remember if its your subbed box, then talkback will be enabled, and they will be able to detect what card/image is in use, the card status should show as not paired.

The card and the box are paired, they will not work properly without a paired card.

You said the screen goes black for movies, this sort of proves my point, if you cannot watch any of the sly movie channels, then the card is deffinately being noted as not paired by the box.

You would be wise to return the correct card to the box, as virmin may eventually know what you have done if you continue to use the wrong card.

I cannot be certain whether or not it is detectable or not, but the box CAN talk back, and if they notice its not paired they might ask questions, thats all.

If the channels don't work, its due to the bk + ird not matching. Don't even mess with subbed equipment.

If the Pace 4001 really is dead, get another one, or try a 2100 Samsung.
