Does anyone know the answer to this? If I have a DVR box that a few movie channels like HBO and Starz, but I bring the card from my box to my friends house who has a DVR box but his card doesn't have access to the movie channels, will my friend now have access to DVR capabilities as well as the channels he didn't before? Or is the card always tied to the specific box?

Yeah that won't work.

Also, a cable card is a technical term for an actual card that you can use with certain TV's or third party cable boxes, like a Tivo, to access encrypted channels.

I know the card you are referring to but it's not considered a "cable card" technically. Just FYI.

if you take the cable card out, itwill allow you to watch what ever that card is programed to watch. for instance, if your account has the gold package and you take the card out and bring it to your neighbors house and they have family and you put your card in thier box, you will be able to watch the gold package.


yes, ive done it before in the past.
