We can discuss anything about satellite tv smart card here. Any information on smartcard for DSTV, HITV, MYTV, Aljazeera sports, ADMC, Sky tv etc are welcome here.

thanks for this. may be this time we will post in the right thread.

For those dat are been asked to come and 'crack' their dstv cards, instead of going to swap dem for free now @ multichoice b4 may 1. Pls dnt b deceived.

1. Dstv card is dstv property.
2. There's a big diffrence btw married cards n opened but restricted cards.
You mite have an open blue or multicolour cards dat will only show channel 118 ( afmag yoruba) alone in some certain dsd990 or old decoders, while it will definately show all channels on some old dstv and strong decoders.
When ur old open card is collected, cracked or not cracked as suggested, d card will be pulled out ,u will den be given anoda one dat will only work on one & only one decoder it will be married to.
Dstv get record of all cards n dey have specific numbers n versions, hence,weda ur card is cracked or not,by May 1 all old cards bcoms history, remember wat apund a while ago,dstv no go chase u ooooo, na to just scramble all old cards weda cracked or not,weda na inside dstv or strong decoder.....
I'l advice if u have old cards n u dnt wnt to lose it completely or later asked to pay #3k to swap it,d only geniune alternative is to go n swap for d new black married card now b4 May 1......

Afterall peeps dey watch even d married cards( wit subscrbtion ) on other decoders.
Make una shine una eyes oooooo, make anybody no come make una pay double money all in d name of cracking dstv card .

My 2 cents.

@ Pofolo, how much does it cost to swap the DSTV smartcard with the reciever. Again, what if one doesn't have their old reciever but have only their smartcard, can they swap only the smart card?

Good question we are same position,,, can my card be swap with their receiver.

@ dlee & oxteen,
presently it is free, if u have any old working dstv decoder & a card,even if its not d decoder registered with d card. All dat dstv will do is collect d old card,give u d new one, then pair it with d dstv decoder brought wit d card.
I dont think dstv have any plan for only cards alone, all dey told me was to go and get a new single decoder + smartcard for #17.5k or just go for complete set ( dish,decoder, lnb & smartcard) for #27k.
Note : if u swap just d old card, it will ONLY show on d decoder d card was sold with ,....xcept software comes up later for strong decoders or beta still get dat hd decoder that unsramble even married cards for dstv small n latest decoders.

This is to inform all that are using Aljazeera sports card that the jsc +9, +10 or world cup/global needs an additional subscription fee of 15k to unlock them. They are the channels that will show euro 2012. Dont expect the tournament on jsc+1-+8.

now d alternative is now clear is either d hd decoder or d**k s**e.
So how much is d hd decoder,wanna take dat route.
Thanks in anticipation.

i have the new blue card, married to a decoder, but i want to use it on my strong 4669xII decoder, how can i watch DSTV channels on my strong decoder please any help?
