They've *never* provided a new card to people upgrading from Sky Digital -
you use your existing card. A new card is only provided when you're
getting a mirror sub as well.

In the beginning they sent out new cards automatically regardless of
whether people intended keeping the old box or not. I don't know the
reasoning behind this: possibly to encourage second sub use, or
perhaps simply a procedural error. This is well documented.


They must have only done so in certain circumstances. I got my Sky+
near the beginning and didn't get sent a new card - they upgraded my
old one. I only got a new card when I phoned up for a FTV card.

As someone who got Sky+ on day one - no they didn't.

Plenty of people did get a second card. Perhaps you were too quick?

As you'll see from this thread, the majority of people didn't get a new
card. As I said, I suspect new cards were only automatically supplied
during the card transition period, or where they cocked up.

The majority of people who posted in this thread, maybe. Perhaps they
were all very early adopters?

Quite possible.
