You can only use the card in one box (you can get freeview channels in other boxes, more with the card) I take my home box with me for films and sport.
You can phone sky and change the card to another box but you have to do it every time you change over.
Card sharing allows you to share you card with more than one satallite receiver, you can have recievers upstairs in bedrooms accessing your main reciever with the sky card downstairs.
This can also be done over the internet to a remote location, friends house, motorhome with internet access, holiday home in spain etc.
The setup I'm planning is DM500s satellite receiver, connected via network cable to my netbook, netbook connected to mobile phone via bluetooth, mobile phone with G3 internet access.
DM500s connects to my satellite box at home over the internet and gets the channel codes for what ever channel I'm watching.
There is no charge, it is not a sky product. don't think sky would approve because you are bypassing their multiroom fee.
Sky would want you to by another receiver from them and send you an extra card with a monthly fee for each extra box.
