Unable to record from CH4 HD and use live pause

Morning all, firstly a merry xmas to everyone. Hope everyone is having a nice morning.

The other week i swapped my Sky+ box with a friends HD box. All has been working fine (i dont subscribe to HD so just have the free to view channels). I have however noticed a problem whereby i cannot record anything from the CH4 HD. When i press record nothing happens. I also cannot pause this channel.
Scrooged is on later today in HD and well i will be out and would love to have this recorded to watch later and well in my current position this is not going to happen.
I never called Sky originally to pair the card as everything seemed to work straight away. Do i need to do this or is there a more simpler reason why the Sky+ features are not working on this channel.

Many thanks in advance,

David

Merry Christmas!

I had the same problem when i swapped my Sky+ to a HD box and the only fix was to ring Sky to pair the card and box

call technical support 08442 411411

Have great day!

Re: Unable to record from CH4 HD and use live pause

the card needs to be paired to the box to be able to record/pause encrypted channels and unfortunately C4HD is "classed" as one of those channels
ring sky up and pair the card
