You are possibly getting mixed up with the old analogue cards, they were changed on quite a regular basis, one of them was bright yellow.

How do you stop the 'Go to sky.com...' messages from constantly displaying? When you dont need to replace the card for £20 because the channels wont affect you and they are still running fine anyway. Or will they continue to display these indefinitely? thanks

So if i remove the card will the receiver keep working; or will it eventually ask for the card to be inserted again? And will removing it affect any channels? thanks

Does anyone know how long sky are planning to keep sending those reminder messages?

Yes it will keep working, no messages. You'll lose Five, Fiver and Five US. Five can be replaced as mentioned above.

I have no card in my box and I still get five but not Five USA and Fiver I've also lost my local ITV station and now get London I should be on Meridian. I think the card has stopped working now as even with it in I can't get Fiver and Five USA.

If you want Sky 3 and a few more channels, just buy a new card.

If you want sky3 fiver and five USA you will have to buy a new card. I haven’t because as I still have an aerial I can get my local ITV if I want to and don’t miss the above channels. I must admit at first I was going to get a new card and callrd sky but they take so long to answer I couldn’t be bothered to hold on.
