Re: swapping old V+ box with new Tivo box

Change:
I'm buying a 3D Smart TV for the bedroom and I've heard that the selection for 3D is not as good on the V+ Box.

Question:
I'm thinking of buying a new Tivo Box on ebay and swapping it for the V+ box in my bedroom. That would mean I had a Tivo box in both rooms. Would this work and would I swap the card from the v+ into the new Tivo Box?

I'm not very technical...so please keep replies simple
Firstly, welcome to the forum Smithgo!

Secondly, the simple answer is no. Don't buy any VM equipment off eBay as it is illegal as all equipment remains the property of VM and should be returned if you cancel your services. Also, your smart card and the V+ Box are paired on your account so wouldn't work with any other equipment.

Hope this helps :-)
