For Free to View channels and some of the subscription channels e.g. Discovery, Sky One, etc. the box should just work. However if the card has not be used for a while you need to put it in the Sky box and leave it for up to three days for it to receive the 'stay alive' signal.
If you have premium channels (Sports, Movies) you need to call sky to 'pair' the card and the box.
