Blue Sky Cards Out, New White Sky cards in - "This programme is not available" message on Sky boxes

The process of deactivating the old blue sky viewing cards is happening now.

Many people using these cards for the free to view channel, like Five and Fiver, are now unable to watch these channels, as the blue cards are now deactivated.

You may get an on screen message on some channels to the effect of "This programme is not available" - meaning your Sky card is no longer valid to receive that channel.

Only new white cards will work, as it has also been reported that Sky have now moved over to their new NDS3 encryption.
 
Expect a backlog as many people rush to try and get a new white card......or try sky.com/replacecard
