Most Sky Q boxes are owned by Sky and need to be returned when a subscription ends. Sky are not asking for 'some' older boxes to be returned but there's a very good chance the majority you see advertised on certain sites are technically stolen property.

Is it not the case that you can't get a new/different viewing card paired up any more, only the original card?

That's for Sky+ / Sky+HD boxes.

Ahh, I thought it was all recording boxes, something to do with the license for the software expiring to pair up the cards & boxes I think? So presumed it would be all.

A current card can be paired with a replacement Q box, but the only legitimate source of such a box is Sky itself.
