Answer 1

ANS 1 THEAY WILL CHARGE A INSTALL FEE OF 100

ANS 2 NO YOU CANT USE THE CARD IN ANOTHER BOX BECAUSE IT WILL BE PARED WITH THE BOX AND IT WILL BE IN ANOTHER PERSONS NAME IT WILL BE CHEEPER TO GET THEM TO DO A COMPLETE INSTALL

AND HAVE THE GUARANTEE THAT YOU AS MILLIONS OF OTHER PEOPLE  WILL BE RIPPED OFF

Answer 2

If you have a dish up already you will need a qaud LNB put onto so the new box can have a cable feed to it. Sky will charge you for this so i recomend ask an independent company to do it as they will be chaper. Then phone sky and tell them you have a second box and want a second card for it. They wont charge you for this but bear in mind you wont have a guarantee on your box because you didnt get it from sky. Finally, your card will work in your new box  but you wont get the sports or movie channels, all the other channels you will.

Answer 3

best to phone sky,the will sort it out.
