Re: Pairing sky card
What Sky box do you have, is it a Sky+ or Sky Q one and are you saying you have one viewing card and take it from your home to your holiday home ?

That's never been a legitimate thing to do, and Sky now actively blocks it for Sky+ HD boxes.

Why would anyone need to do it to Sky Q boxes that are only available on loan?

Re: Pairing sky card
Whether or not Sky have taken action previously it's still a breach of the terms and conditions a customer has agreed to. It would appear Sky weren't happy with customers flaunting the rules.
I'm afraid that the bottom line is that since the end of October 2024 you can no longer pair a viewing card to a Sky+ box it was not paired to at that time. That includes Sky+/HD boxes at other homes, or a box aquiried elsewhere to replace a faulty box.

Re: Pairing sky card
Yes ...Sky have changed the policy to increase the conversions from Sky+ HD to Sky Q or Sky Stream🤔
It will help to end those on legacy packs😉

You can take out a separate subscription but not for Sky+/HD. You'd need Sky Q, Stream or Glass.

You'll need to contact Sky and get them to pair the card remotely
