    Is it correct that I don't need a card? I thought you couldn't use a Sky box without one? I have only free channels through Sky at the moment but my box still has a card. Does that mean I can take it out abd it'll still work?!

    It will still receive the FTA channels but not the Free to View channels (FTV) like Sky3, Five, Fiver. Five FTA version can be added back manually.

    Yes, with limited channels, as Pokerlad has stated.

    Just pull out your card to find out what you will get, it will do no harm.

    Either cheap 2nd hand sky box or dearer freesat box.

    Shouldn't cost more than about £65
