Hello
I have a Humax Foxsat-HDR box that is about 2 yo. A few days ago we lost all the ITV channels, Channel 4, 5 and Film 4. I have been advised locally that if I fit the white SKY card that came from my old SKY box I can get them back again, but of course this is not possible without a suitable CI component. Can someone advise me how/where I can obtain the required CI module, or what alternatives may exist.
Thanks

Not sure about the advice you gave been given about using a Sky card. Have you tried a reset?

Whereabouts are you ?. Sounds as if you may not be in the UK.

Eastern Med perhaps.

Yes. Do you know where I can buy a CI module that will accept the SKY card?

There's not much point as any module will only give you the current free to view encrypted content. Pretty much all of this is likely to move to Astra 1N and go fta. You may also need a working Sky box to keep the card alive. You will be better of asking in a more specialised Sky forum about CI modules and cards.
