Sky Replace Viewing Cards
Satellite TV provider Sky, are starting to roll out new viewing cards for all of their 9.2 million subscribers. You should received yours within the next few months.
From time to time we need to replace your Sky viewing cards with brand new ones to ensure you receive a secure and up-to-date service.
When you get yours, just follow these simple instructions:
Replacing your card
- With your TV and Sky box turned on with the green light showing, simply pull out the existing card.
- Insert your new card into the same slot with the arrows showing on top of the card and the card pointing towards the box.
- Wait for a few seconds until you see the on-screen message.
- You’ll then see a message confirming your new card is working. Now just press BACK UP on your remote control to continue viewing as normal.
Sky have set-up a Sky Viewing Help site dedicated to replacing your Sky Viewing Card, giving more information on why the change, how to change and troubleshooting advice.
The viewing cards have been updated a few times since Sky Digital first launched in 1998, do you remember them?
