old viewing card into sky box

Marco85

have a sky+ box in the bedroom that i just use for the fta channels,now i want to receive all the channels i have on the downstairs box therefore adding another multiroom sub. i have an old viewing card spare from a previous installation of sky a couple of years back,can i phone sky and ask them to pair this card to the box or will they insist on sending out a new viewing card??

If its a blue card then you cant use it, if it was a card that was previously used in a different box then they will probably not allow you to use it.

You will then need to hook both boxes upto an active phoneline to activate it.

If it's a White card that was already in your name then there should be no problem.

its a white card. phone line wont be a problem as there is one close by. just dont want to phone sky and be giving the runaround for 20 mins and then told i cant do it.

Only way you'll find out for sure is to ring them, no amount of speculating here will change that...
