Yes, Bell will likely charge you in the neighbourhood of $100 for another smart card.

Plus as Frankster mentioned, if there is a balance owing on that receiver you will be on the hook before it can be activated. That would also include any PPVs that the receiver is waiting to send up to Bell. A person could order every PPV under the sun, and then unplug the phone line. At some piont the reciever would stop working until it is allowed to call home again.

I do not see the risk/reward working out from buying a used receiver; unless it's somebody you know.
