    Guys

    I have a digibox with ftv card matched with serial number. (As was required a couple of years ago to get BBC). Need to use this digibox as main box for a while and will need to get my main card matched to the box. Will the FTV card still work ok after. ie. this won't be switched off automatically when I put my standard irish card on this box... thanks

    Yes, it'll work grand. Just bear in mind, that if you don't use the FTV card for a few days, it'll become deactivated. Easily remedied by putting it back in the digibox and leaving it for 24hours, until it gets updated encryption keys.

    and ensuring that the phone line is not connected when fta card is in the box :-)
