Default N3 Card and Box

Hi

I got my N3 card today in post at the top of the letter it says the serial code for my original box and i lost the original box and been using a different pace box would the card pair up with the current box or is it only on the original box.

And another question when you cancel your tv subscription do they come collect your equipment ie the box

a lot of people seem to forget that any virgin equipment in your home is only leased and virgin can at any time request it back. if they do and you can not give it back you could be billed £250 for the box and the same again for the card.
saying that however most of the time they dont bother asking for it back but they always hold the legal option to do so.
