Cancelled Sky Subs

daphil

Newby question, i recently cancelled my sky sub, and a friend of mine did the same. My cancelled sky card works perfectly in an old sky box I have in a Summer house, but my friend's cancelled card will not show any channels but the free ones. Could some techie explain this to me. BTW I tried leaving his card in my Sky box over night but to no avail.
Thanks

Explain what exactly? One card has been switched off and the other has not for whatever reason. enjoy your free viewing while you can

I thought I read on this board that a cancelled card worked as a FTV card for Irish channalls. Anyway can Sky switch off my own card even if it is in a different box and no phone line attached.
thanks for your help

No thats not the case unlike UK cards, yes they can turn off your card at any time once it is in a box receiving Sky channels.
