    Purchasing additional box from Ebay

    Hi. recently moved back to Virgin after a 12 month stint with Sky
    I had a couple of boxes fitted downstairs one in front room other in conservatory.
    We have a cable feed up in attic where our bedroom is and I have been moving the box from our conservatory up to out bedroom, but rater than moving the box all the time I thought that I could purchase an additional box from eBay and just move the card that is inserted into the box instead, would this work or do the box's need to be registerd to a particular house?

    Can't you use a splitter on the aerial out connection, then use one of those "magic Eye" things to change channels in the bedroom?

    OK thanks for that will just have to move box I suppose, wont be going in conservatory much over winter anyway. I could try swapping card between the 2 boxes, if the cards are paired to boxes then they shouldn't work if I swap them.
