Default Two Sky Dishes

Hi,

I'm new to the site, this is my first post.

I recently got Sky+ installed complete with a new dish; the sky engineer did not take down my old dish and I still have my old receiver. Sky will be sending out new viewing cards soon and I was wondering if I could use the old card with my old system and have sky upstairs or will sky cancel the old card when they send the new ones out.

AFAIK the old card & box should still get the fta channels, and any un-encrypted ones too, after the card change it may not work though!

I say keep it and see what happens!
