    no, the white cards can be transfered between boxes excluding , as before, the 'premium' services incl. sky sports and movies.

    no, should't cause any problems....... just so long as you keep it dry and dust free and generally dont abuse it............. (maybe not a good idea to put in a jeans back pocket and then sit on it!!)
    it is actually quite a good idea from time to time to remove your viewing card and gently clean it with a soft dry cloth before reinserting it anyway
