Changed my Sky+ card and now the programs i recorded with the old card won't play

[hoovoo]

To be more precise, i have recorded close to 70-75% of my hard disk.
After changing to a new Sky+ card, everything is working fine, newly recorded programs play fine BUT all the stuff i've saved and haven't seen that were recorded with my old card cannot be reproduced!
When i TRY to play them i get a " RECORDING INTERRUPTED, please wait".
No matter how long i wait this does not go away. Also nothing is being recorded at the time!
Tried every trick in the book i know (forced updates, etc...)

Anyone knows of a solution?


Thank you

The recording & playback facility is intrinsically linked to the viewing card. Any programmes recorded under one card won't be viewable using another card. Why have you changed to a new Sky+ card?

Is there anyway round this? I have had SkyHD with my old SKy+ moving upstairs. I left around 20 hours of progs on the old box thinking I could just watch them as and when. Trouble is engineer paired up card with the new HD box and then paired my old multiroom card to the sky+.

OK I can take the card upstairs and watch the progs but is a pain especially when we cannot record on HD while doing this.

Sorry, no way. All channels that are 'free' (such as ITV 1,2, 3 etc and BBC 1, 2, 3 etc) WILL still play with either card. Recordings frompay channels (including Channel 4 and 5) need the card that was in the Sky + and is now in Sky HD.

It is simple to swap if you choose a time when the HD box is not set to record (it will not record whilst the card is out). Just put it back afterwards.

The recordings should be viewable even weeks from now so you can catch up as and when you have chance.
