    If the other TV has freeview and a free slot, or they have a freeview set-top box, then you could use your card in that. Setanta on Sky uses a different encryption to setanta on freeview so your card wouldn't work in a sky box I'm affraid.

        im sure they`ll ask why the card was out anyway. if they send you a new card i think they can remotely stop the first card anyway.

        Read the Rules here; they apply to Everyone.

          yup,, setanta using v10 card of s2/n2, and i think even going n3 ,, not good news,,,, if you get a replacement your old card will only work in a box that wont update the codes( any normal freeview box will try let the card update ) for about a month if your lucky.
          boom!
