before i get espn and a package on bt vision.

i just wondered if the smart card can only be used in the vision box or can i use it in a cam and on my humax to watch espn too?

also i have an old sentanta card can that be used ,or do i have to pay for a new vision card , and wait for it to be mailed to me?

thanks

Bt will send out a new viewing card, which i asume can only be used in the vision box as it has the bt logo on it.

your old setanta card will work but you'll need to set up ESPN through BT to get it for free. So you'll be sent out a new card anyway.

It will work on any other freeview box or telly. I move my card between my BTV box and a telly with a cam.

You have to get the ESPN card from BT otherwise your STB's card slot won't be enabled. More details here.
