3 UPC boxes, 2 Cards?

STForSale · 2011-09-07 18:53:35

Can I switch a card between 2 UPC boxes and receive channels or will UPC find this objectionable? Don't really want another multiroom change but would like to watch tv in a third room occasionally. Wiring etc is already there. Cheers.

Nope, each card is paired to it's box during provisioning. It won't work in another box without UPC re-provisioning the card.
