when you say an old card i assume you mean a blue card in which case you also likely have an older version of cccam ,install cccam 2.1.3 and set it as your default cam and pop your old cccam.cfg file into the new cccam using dream control center . cccam.cfg goes in to var/etc .

its not the card number that is used its the boxkey (this is easily got by typing your sky box serial number in to boxkey convertor)if your uncle had a white card i assume he must have had cccam 2.1.3 installed (this is the lowest version you can use to open channels on a white card)pop your card into the box and if cccam 2.1.3 is installed all the basic pay channels will open . the boxkey is only required to open the movies and sports channels so if your package doesnt contain those channels you dont need the boxkey .

shane if you put your card in the dreambox card slot the channels should open but only the basic pay channels, to open sky sports and sky movies you will need the sky box boxkey and that has to go into the cccam.cfg file .

if you click on the first link in my signature area you can download boxkey convertor (also download dream control center as you will need that to open the cccam.cfg file )on the back of your sky box there should be a sticker with a 17 digit serial number type that in to the boxkey convertor and it will give you your boxkey , write down your boxkey .

now you have to setup dream control center and use it to put the boxkey into cccam.cfg ,here are instructions from my tutorial

to edit cccam you open dream control center ,you need to set it up so it sees your network ,the first thing you see is a picture of a computer and to its right a picture of a dreambox ,we need to add a picture of a router to those pictures . so to the left of the picture of the computer you will see connection type and a few options like hub,crossover and router choose router by clicking on the word router ,now you should have 3 pictures.

below the picture of the router you will see search ,click on it and a box will appear ,on the top left corner of that box you will see search again click on it, dream control center is now searching for your routers ip address . when the search is complete you will see an ip address double click on it to accept it ,where it said search below the picture of the router it now has an ip address. go through the same process with the dreambox picture to find the dreambox ip address . when you have both ip addresses go the picture of the computer and click on reconnect ,all being well you should have a gree line going between all 3 pictures and a bit of text saying network ok .

now click on ftp in the bottom left of your screen , and you will see 2 boxes with files in them ,in the box on the left double click on var dir , then double click on etc dir , now you will see cccam.cfg single click on it to highlight it and the right click on it and you will see options like view,delete,edit etc click on edit and cccam.cfg will open .

you will see each line has a number (you can use any line you want in cccam.cfg but to make it easier for newbies i tell them to put their boxkey and c lines on specific lines in cccam.cfg) scroll to line number 317 and follow these instructions .

now scroll down to line number 317 and you will see #BOXKEY:/dev/sci0 00 11 22 33 (delete the # symbol at the start of the line ) and where you see 00 11 22 33 this is where you edit the numbers and put in your sly box boxkey . when you have put in your boxkey go to the top left of your screen and click on file and then click on exit and save . now reboot your dreambox (you need to reboot everytime you edit cccam ) all movies and sports channels should clear .
