now HD boxes had to registered on my account now been thinking about using my SD boxes with the remaining non premium channels that havent moved to DVB2 yet but was wondering will the viewing card still get entitlements while in the SD box or are entitlements only send to viewing cards that are matched to a box also while the viewing card is in a SD box could a repairing try and happen using the satellite dish while the viewing card is in the SD box messing up my account

Sky+ Viewing cards are locked to the box they were in at the end of October 2024 and they cannot be used in any other box

@HeathHayle

As cards can no longer be paired with other boxes, personally, I wouldn't risk moving a card to another box

@HeathHayle so far as I'm aware the Viewing Card is updated over the air whether the box is in standby or switched on.
