Had a blue card in a TM6800 Super
Started getting messages about invalid card and lost fiver etc

Put unpaired new white card in TM6800S, not even recognized as smart card

Put blue card back in, now all channels back

So -will things stay this way?

Is there any way of activating new Sly white card for use with TM6800S?

No not yet and be very carefull of putting the new cards into the tm and other receivers. They may get very hot a burn. The net it full of rumour and rumour again. Linux box's have got them reading by entering in the box key after doing a hex converstion. But not too sure about getting the hot side being fixed yet. Looks like them have restriced the about of codes each cards gives out.

Ta!

Am I right in thinking 4HD & everything apart from Fiver & FiveUS is now FTA anyway?

An un-paired white card needs putting in a Sky receiver to activate before it can be recognized in any other receiver.
