Al Jazeera Sport and OSN New box

In the summer we bought an Al Jazeera card so my husband could watch the football even though we normally have OSN. Since then we have had the new OSN HD box installed. Will our new card work in the box? Husband is concerned about watching the six nations next weekend.

I would try it myself, but can't find the card (don't tell him ;)) If it isn't going to work anyway won't spend the next few days trying to find it! Has anyone tried their Al Jazeera viewing card in the new OSN boxes? From what I can find out 6nations is on JSC+3 which isn't a channel we can get without the card.

Anyone help?

I think that the new OSN decoders are set up and paired with the account holders OSN card and no other card will work in it.. If you have 2 osn boxes you can use the al jazeerah card in the second box without the need to buy a decoder. OSN advised us where to install the card when they set up the new boxes.

If you bought the world cup package on the al jazeera card it will have expired. You need to pay the annual subscription and get the card updated in order to access the additional sports channels. We usually do this at a shop in Satwa called target electronics 04 349 1015. It is opposite satwa clinic. We can only use our card and view in our secondary box (not the recordable one). HTH
