Hi,
Ive got mysky and movies, my mate doesn't have movies.
Can I record the movies to my mysky box, then swap mysky boxes with my mate?
Presumably keeping the sky sim cards in our own homes.
Would this work?
Thanks

The card will work in the way you will be able to view still, but the recording features will cease eventually when the box and the card realise that they are not the correct pair, as they are paired together when originally installed together.
So:
1/1 = ok
1/2 = not ok
2/2 = ok
2/1 = not ok
they work for a random amount of time then they just stop recoding etc.
If you decide to just swap boxes (with cards left in the boxes) then IT SHOULD work depending in LNB settings etc.
Would not recommend my self but up to you.
Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Isn't the OP talking about swapping STB's - not the cards from the boxes?

and? same principal applies and as he mintioned the cards are somewhat tied to the box so the same thing will happen if you swap boxes and keep the cards in their original locations.

B1GGLZ: My understanding of the OP is his mate only wants to watch movies already recorded on the box and not try recording any. If so I guess it should work. I would think that playback would work no matter whose card is plugged in. Hard to say with Sky's weird systems though. Try it and see what happens. Basically we need to know - Will a MySky STB playback movies with a different card in the slot to that when recorded and will it still playback recordings with no card inserted?

Security features mean the box will not play back movies without the card they were recorded with

That sux! Another nail in Sky's coffin?

jamesrobert: I don't think MySkys like being lugged around a lot.
I wouldn't take the risk of buggering it completely.
tripp: The account needs to have access to view the movie. His card / account does not have movies so his card won't play them even if they are on the decoder.
Also if a hit is sent when his card is in your decoder then you may lose access to pvr and the recordings on the decoder.
So in short. Don't try and cheat the system.
