can a single card be paired to two boxes?

why not bring one of your original boxes and try that? If you use your
card
in the 2nd houses box (the one left by previous owners), it will not work
properly.

You need to use your original boxes. Either that or phone sky to pair you
card with the box left behind by previous tenants.

both boxes matched to the cards must remain in the same original house
connected to the same phone line, the only way to get what you want is to
take a box and paired card to the new house but you will keep having to
bringing it back to its registered phone line so it can phone home or it
will be blocked. Cards can only "marry" 1 box.

I think that each card must be paired to a single box at any one time.

No that is not possible. Sorry.

but the TVs don't have to

the only way to get what you want is to
take a box and paired card to the new house but you will keep having to
bringing it back to its registered phone line so it can phone home or it
will be blocked. Cards can only "marry" 1 box.

Depends how far apart the houses are. Its something of a long shot,
but a digisender/receiver between the two houses, with box digiboxes
in the same house, would deliver the Sky from one to the other without
causing any problems caused by the boxes not being connected to the
same phone line. As I recall the advertised range in 2.4 GHz products
is up to 500 metres, but getting that kind of distance can be
something of a challenge.

But it would work between, say, next door neighbours who both wanted
Sky but at a reduced cost.

Only for the cheap mirror sub arrangement. There is no such
requirement for full-price subs.

However, each card must be used in the correct box for the premium
(films, sport) channels to work. There are no ifs and buts about this.

Why?

To prevent someone taking a lower cost mirror sub with a second box
£15 p/m vs up to £40 for the full package), and then giving the box to
someone else as a first box

He never said he had a mirror sub
