Sky+ HD box defaulting to UK EPG again?

I have a Sky+ HD box with a UK FTV card. It was previously paired to an Irish subscription card (Sky Sports was included with the sub). Powered it up again this evening, no card in box, and its defaulting to the UK EPG. I thought Sky+ HD boxes paired to Irish subs cards retained the Irish EPG? Anyone else notice this?…

They tend to remember the last used card.

I'd not complain.

I have a Sky+ HD box that always does the UK EPG ... No idea why.

Also it's really the card that is "paired" not the box.

Thanks watty. No complaints here! I've read in previous threads that the EPG is/was cached to the HDD hence thinking that the Irish EPG would remain with no card in the box.

The UK FTV card is a London region card. With no card in the box, ITV1 Central West is at 103.
