Taking the box and card for that short period won't be a problem.
I took my box and card and used it at another house for 4 weeks whilst renovations were being done at my own place.
You may just need to change the LNB frequency to make it work.
If you can't laugh at yourself then you probably shouldn't laugh at others.
We do this all the time, and sometimes for much longer than a week. No issues.
As mentioned you may need to change the LNB settings, make sure you know how before you go.
Don't forget your remote, done that a few times, quite frustrating.

They won't know. I used to have a multiroom decoder at our place before we cut Sky. The room just so happened to be on the other side of the city.
fprfalcon: Going to go stay at my parents for a week. Will skytv know if I take my skybox with me just for this week? Or should I just leave it. Don’t wanna get in trouble or anything
You would be violating the terms of your contract with Sky, specifically 9.1 (a) "Unless we expressly state otherwise ... you must not ... remove the Equipment from the HOME or remove or replace any connections to the Equipment without our prior written consent"
Having said that, I don't think Sky really enforce this.

You havent seen the Sky TV vans sitting outside SkyTV owners homes making sure they dont leave with the decoder ? ;)

Ha ha the sky secret police are among us!!
I once discussed upgrading the internal harddrive of my sky hd unit, and you should have seen the geekzone sky lawyers getting on their high horses.
Incidentally , it is too bad there is no structured fibre optic distribution product on the market (at least cost effective). That would solve all issues surely.

No, they don't enforce it. I even rang them once when my decoder wouldn't work at a different address. I said I was staying at a different property for a few weeks and the operator happily gave me the new LNB code (whatever that is) and even talked me through changing it in the setup menu.
