the card is probably locked and you dont do it to a subscribed box durr
you always get a second box as all of your details are logged on the subscribed box

You would need to buy a programmer with phoenix mode, the card must be paired to the box, you would also need an unlooper to unlock the card unless the card has been modified before and its a non locking type mosc.
The card if it has been left in the box and the subscription has been cancelled may have been hit by cable co, which means the boxkey on it will be altered so it wont be paired to the box and the box cant be done.
So its up to you if you want to learn how to do it ,once you have the tools you wont have to pay anyone again, and you have come to the right place.
