[QUOTE="PoloMint, post: 23066, member: 175235"] Yes, and not only problems in the future. The BBC now also check to see if there is an active Sky card tied to the box when you give them the serial. This is to stop people in England getting BBC Scotland with a FTV card sent from a friend there. They never used to check, but in the last year or so they have been much more careful, some people still manage it so it just seems to be luck as to who they check. I assume your brother would have the FTV and Sky card registered to the same address, however the BBC are likely to see that there is an active Sky sub and may not see any reason to activate the card, and your brother would be hard pushed to come up with one if they ask. (even if he tells them he is cancelling Sky they will tell him there is no need to get a new card) Giving your brother the serial and version number of your box is probably the safest way of activating it. When you have the unactivated card in your box in Sweden he should then call up and activate it, provided you have a stable default transponder signal it shouldn’t be a problem. [/QUOTE]
