[QUOTE="archive10, post: 998271"] Don't know the specifics. Just guessing. But most likely software incompatibilities. These could be anything, but most likely something that affects the ability to watch tv. Could be Conditional Access Systems (CAS) version no longer approved, and new version cannot be downloaded to / not compatible with specific hardware. This would make it problematic for Sky to keep transmitting to those old boxes because for commercial reasons. Not sure about the 31/12 thing, but that sounds more like tied to a license that expires. To keep up with licensing, the switch-over will happen after 31/12, but requires all customers to have new(er) boxes. Do both clients have the same model of "old box"? [/QUOTE]
