Use of box at sons house
 

Just wondered if when staying at sons house who has Virgin I can take my V+ box and use it there. Know the card is paired to my box but are there other restrictions which prevent this. Also be useful if I was away for a few weeks letting him have the V+.

Used to do it when we both had Sky so interested in replies.

Cheers

Probably other restrictions but I do believe he will need to be subscribed to V+ service too.

Not really meant to do it, against T&C's.

& to answer the question, depends really on location, the further your travelling the less likely it is to work ( yes i know its not strictly true, but its the easiest way of explaining it )

2 streets away, 'should' work, cardiff to bristol, wont...

Much as I thought and not trying to cheat the system.

Thanks for the answers

Might work if your son is in the same franchise area. No guarantee that ex-NTL and ex-Telewest areas will use the same frequencies etc

I moved from a flat to a house 2 streets away and the box worked for 5 minutes then said I needed to subscribe on every channel so I would say that taking the box and card to another address won't work.

Again many thanks for the replies and saves trying to dismantle the connections and lugging it across town.

I heard a story on Cable forum about someone using there Sky box in another property within the UK and then got a letter a month later telling them there service had been suspended due to using the Sky service outside of the United Kingdom, strange! So the best thing to do is not use your subscription elsewhere other than your property.
