whats preventing it from working?
You can use a nozkt unit for a legit subbed subscription if you want to .... although I don't know why you would. The unit should work with what ever card Dave decides to issue. Whether or not we will be able to alter the script on the card or not is a whole nother issue though.

Nothing, Lunatik. It WILL work...with one exception: If the P4 card in question is already subscribed and married to a different receiver, then it's a no-go. You can't unmarry a P4. Just two days ago I challenged someone that claimed you could swap a subbed P4 from receiver to receiver...so I tried it myself before I corrected him. I took my own subbed card that's married to an unmodified 430....and stuck it in my modified 420. Got the previews, and a "you have inserted the wrong card" nag, which is exactly what I expected. If your card has never been in an IRD, it'll work, but since we can't program the card ourselves, it will require an activation from DirecTV to do so.
One question...what's the benefit of doing this? All you can do with such a setup is subscribe it to DTV......

An alternative, if all IRDs involved are modded, would be to clone the serial number of the subbed unit to all other units that you wanted to use the subbed P4/P5 card in, so using that method you could move a subbed P4 card from receiver to receiver.
I have a P4 card that gives the wrong card error, I have no idea what serial number of the receiver that it is married to, and no way to find out, so if that is the case you will have to wait for a P4 crack to be available.
But like Chief asked, "what are the benefits?"
Right now a subbed P4/P5 card is not any good for testing purposes, unless you are trying to crack the damn thing, then test away....but good luck, you will need it.......
