Extra UPC box & moving smart card?

    Does anyone know if it's possible to get an extra UPC digital box that requires a smart card, but not get the card and extra multiroom subscription?

    Bit of background: we've currently got two UPC digital boxes in the house - in the living room and kitchen. It would be handy to get an extra box for one of the bedrooms, and as there's only two of us in the house, it'd be even better if it was possible to get a regular box that could use the card from one of the existing boxes that wouldn't be in use at the time.

    So, anyone know? Video sender is another option, but not ideal because of the dodgy quality and the fact there's a wireless network in the house.

    Thanks

    No, not possible. UPC will only give you a box with a valid subscription. It's not possible to hot-swop cards between boxes either. A card must be paired to a box before it will unlock the channels and can only be paired to one box at a time. All channels on their service require a viewing card.

    Video sender or €5 multiroom subscription is your only option :)
