Can I use my existing Sky card in a replacement Sky Digibox?
Yes but NOT for the premium channels for which the card is matched to one receiver. In order to use your existing card for premium channels on a different receiver, you will have to ask Sky to re-authorise the card while it is in the new Digibox. They will require various information including the card number, version Number and the serial number from the menu screen. A second hand (used) Digibox can be authorised in this way, either with an existing smart card or with a new card. A card can not be authorised for more than one Digibox at the same time unless the second Digibox has been modified (“cloned”) to have the same serial number. (This can be achieved only with identical Digiboxes and is an expensive job for a fully-equipped repair workshop. Please contact the repairshop direct). If you want a second “Multiview” card for a second Digibox, you will have to pay BskyB an additional (lower) subscription, which is currently £10 per month (March 2003). Both Digiboxes must be connected
