Set Top Box reusability
Can we reuse STB of Cable for DTH if we just buy the dish and subscribe with the DTH provider?
The STB is having a card slot can i get the card seperatley for other providers? |

No. The cable STB is different from DTH STB hardware wise, recpetion medium and other features.

STB will able to receive channels from other cable network also, but may not able to de-crypt the channels as these channels are encrypted by cable operator by some encryption and it 'may' have been paired with card provided

Technically possible provided the service provider uses same encription software like IRDETO, CONAX etc. In future TRAI may order portability of the STBs like in mobile.
