[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 33414, member: 176256"] I can't answer about a Sky+ box but, with ordinary Digiboxes, once an FTV card has been authorised then it can be moved to another Digibox without any problem. Of course once you take the card out of the first box you can only get the Beeb and the other FTA channels! I've seen it written that once your "home" region of BBC and ITV is set on the digibox by the card then it stays on that version of BBC even after the card is removed. I wish you well with your plan to share the costs of the system. You may find that it is a very popular service and quickly run out of LNB feeds if you're using an ordinary quad LNB. Just think, you will need 2 for your Plusbox, that only leaves 2 for everyone else! If you have enough interest you will have to think about a quattro LNB (4 separate outputs of horizontal and vertical in low and high bands) together with suitable distribution equipment. It'll be more expensive but at least it's expandable to cope with any increase in demand. All the best PaulR [/QUOTE]
