Card no longer married?
My V2 (Cancelled Sky card) no longer seems to be married to a particular box
as far as ITV, C4 and C5, are concerned. I tried it in my second box and it works fine. Come to think of it, was it ever?

AFAIR it was mainly the BBC and Premium Sky channels who were using it.

OK, if this also applies to the series 2 cards, I (and I daresay loads of other people) will soon be looking for expired Sky cards to watch channel 4.

(1) Do old Sky cards that have been replaced by a "new version" work in this way? The series 2 cards that I have work in the same way. (2) Is there not an issue about each Sky card being "tied" to a specific set top box? Only for the premium channels (and previously the BBC channels). -- Digibox problem? : A reboot solves 90% of these.
