My Satellite Setup
Pace box and it is in Spain.
My Location
Spain
When I go to my place in Spain, I take my card from home. This opens up Living Gold sky etc. but not sports or movies as I get a maessage that says "this card not registered to this box" is there any way round this? I do not want to register that box to the card as I would then have to do the same on my return to the UK each time. My installer in Spain (2mtr dish) want €400 for what he says is an unlocked box. Is this right or an easy fix?

it wont be a sky box but will be another make,
A dreambox for example will open all the channels.
My darkbox also opens the permium channels and both of these boxes cost me under 400 euro

The reason for this is that Cards are paired to Boxes as far as "Premium" Channels are concerned.

ie When you get a Subs Card, it is matched to the registered Box.

You can remove the Card and use it in other Boxes for FTA, FTV and basic Mixes, but not for Sport and Films.

This is to stop people lending their Cards to friends etc. and thus preventing people other than the Registered Holder's household from taking advantage of cheap/free viewing they aren't entitled to.
