Can I Use My Dstv Smartcard In Another Decoder
No, you cannot use your Dstv Smartcard in another decoder, as each Multichoice IUC is paired to only one Dstv box. So you can not watch Dstv on another decoder with your Smart card. Multichoice does not allow customers to use their Dstv Smart cards in any other non-Dstv decoder, and even with Multichoice devices, each decoder is paired to one Smartcard.
How Many Digits Is The Dstv Smart card Number
The Dstv Smartcard or IUC number has 10 digits, and in some cases, it has 11 digits, but mostly the first ten digits of your smartcard number are the most relevant, and that is what you need when paying your subscription. Remember, the new Dstv HD single view decoder does not use a removable Smart card, but it uses an embedded card.
What To Do When My Multichoice Smartcard Is Faulty
Whenever there is a fault with your Dstv Smartcard, you should walk into any nearest Multichoice offices for your Smartcard to be replaced. Remember, you must go there with your Dstv decoder so it can be paired with a new Smart card.
Furthermore, it is illegal to force your Dstv IUC to be used with non-Multichoice devices, and if you are caught, you will be charged with a criminal offense.
We believe you have the right answers to your question about using your Dstv Smartcard in another decoder.
