Yes, it should work.. In my case when i was relocated , the connection was deactivated as i was not using it for more than 6 months. Once i done with relocation, the engineer called to the tech team to re activate it. Though i recharged before i make a relocation request, the account was not activated. A call to cc is required for re activation. But as you say your connection is active, i guess it should work without any issues. Also i do not feel there is a tracking mechanism followed on to know where the STB is located?But i am not sure how far taking only the smart card and inserting into other STB will work. Anybody have an idea? does this work?
