Adiebt Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Just had installed at home which means my Sky HD box in the van will no longer access my Sky bundle BUT I’ve managed to “ get “ a Sky Q wide band ODU LNB so my hope is to fit it to my max view dish and take my Q box away with me ( with no broadband connection I realise there will be no catch up capability etc ) can anybody envisage any technical problems ?

derek500 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 When we changed to Sky Q in 2016, I investigated changing the LNB on my Mecatronic Auto dish, but was told it wouldn't be possible. So when we go away I just pair my card to my Sky+HD box and re-pair back to the Q box on return. Never any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adiebt Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 Thanx so much 4 the info btw ! Much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adiebt Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 So , attempted to pair Q card with HD Box in the van , which proved impossible. To pair you need to log in with your Sky id which automatically recognises you as a Sky Q subscriber which means that you cannot pair the card with a HD box . Others say that they have done this , so please , what is the workaround? Cheers ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolero boy Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 there are a few ways to 'pair' a card....using the PC/iPad might mean logging in and the issues you have... you could try this way (the one I use....non Qbox) I put the dish up on the van on the drive at home, the van box also has wifi capability and connects to my home wifi... I put the card in to the van box, select Sky One which is a subscription channnel and it asks if I want to pair the box to the card.... I say yes and it does it over wifi without any logging in anywhere.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm lucky that I've got a hybrid LNB at home, so I can just disconnect the Q box and connect the Sky+HD box using the same cables. Connect it to the internet, put in card and go to a pay channel. You then get the pairing prompt. I then disconnect it and transfer to the van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
