[QUOTE="diarmuid, post: 30969, member: 176831"] I'm in Dublin with two digiboxes and two cards one Sky - one Next Genaration for UTV, Channel 4 and 5 etc. Two digiboxes is the least trouble. Buy a refurbished Digibox for best value and avoid the nuisance of switching cards which is not a good idea. The only other minor problem is switching channels as the remote catches both boxes at the same time. There is a solution on another forum here on pasting a polarised strip on the remote LED but I found that closing off one box is almost as easy until you need to change channels again. For example my Sky box is almost permanently on the football news channel while I can hop around the other Programme Guide to my heart's content. If you want to have the two boxes transmitting to another TV watch out for the channel number clashing. My main Sony has the capability to hold two separate signals from both boxes without conflict but my small kitchen portable was mixing the two signals. The solution was to change the channel output number from 68 the default Sky number to another number in the range I think from 60 to 70. I have the two signals now without any problem and one is on the "Magic Eye" extension from the RF 2 outlet. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
