Will CCcam read Sky sports and movies from my card?

Just to let you all know i have just managed to pair my HD card to the Vu box and this card is only 4 months old and out of my 2tb hd box so long may it continue

Have you updated your box (Card) lately? I ask, as of today, i had to update my box, as i was getting an error saying wrong card inserted, then i had to ring Sly, they told me the box needed updated, which i did (Stupidly) then Voila the channels worked on my Skybox but wont decode on my Vu duo, or my server............

your original sky box was showing the 'wrong card inserted' message?
what card if any had you in it?

also, how are you decoding the card on your DUO and server?

I only need to take my sky card out of my official sky receiver when i go over to Spain so dont intend to leave it in the Vu box for more than 7 or so weeks a year.Dont know if this will make any difference.I only take the SD card with me anyhow so will see how it goes.

and that looks like what the current problems could be...
why do folks keep their cards in official receivers? surely your E2 box works way better?

Had my server go down on friday, using my Smargo, so had to put my card back into my sky reciever, and only some channels were coming through, hence the phone call, then once updated my channels all worked, but my box was updated and possible my account, as the serial number on my box changed from 10 digits to 11...... Now i have Reciever ID that i didnt have previously, now when i put my card back into either my server, or my Vu Duo, i cannot watch Any HD channels which is down to the new sky encryption that they have deployed........

My server is Cccam and Oscam :-) with Original Card on Smargo

It will do but its gonna be 1500 miles away 45 weeks of the year.
Are you saying that if you never put your viewing card back into your original sky box this change wont affect you?
Or is it to stop people watching channels they are not paying a subscription for?

From what i have read, you must only update your skycard Via Oscam, NOT by putting it back into your reciever, this is what i done, and it i learnt the hard way unfortunately.....

Nobody but SKY know how it works yet buddy...
Thought travel might be the reason you wouldn't bring a box.
For now, it seems best to keep subbed sky cards in non official boxes, updating by cccam or oscam.

IMO, the site sponser has an e2 box at £134 that would work way better than any SKY UK/IRE box, so seems like a non brainer if you want to keep a cheap box in one location & a more expensive one in another.

Saying that, only time will tell though...
