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

Re: card entitlements on SD boxes

yes sorry I know that but I remember I put my card in a SD box once and some of the channels worked without pairing the card

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.
