Hi mate

you mean take out the card from your folks box and put it in yours? I assume that is what you mean't right

Well from my understanding is that if you took the card from the box and put it in another box then would not work as each card is paired to the box.

So in otherwords U cant take out the card and put it in your box and expect it to work.

You would physically need to take the box which the card was inserted to and the box as well to your room / House

Yes you can use someone else's multiroom box and paired card if you are relatively close and it will work.

I fully expect Virgin Media, having spent a lot on N3, to focus on stopping this as well as card sharing in the near future.
