[Wos]

I am having grief trying to sort out my viewing card Needs pairing

@Wos 

Is this to a box it previously worked with or a newly acquired or spare box? 

[Wos]

No just came to my wife's,thought I d used it on her hardware.

@Wos 

You won't be able to pair it to a different box to the normal box it's normally in. 

[Wos]

Why not my card should be able to use on strange box?

[Daniel0210 · Accepted solution]

@Wos 

That is no longer possible I'm afraid.

You cannot move a Sky card between boxes any more as Sky have changed the rules on this

@Wos 

The account holder at that address would have to contact Sky who will discuss the options of upgrading to Sky Q, Glass or Stream to continue to watch via a Sky subscription.
