Sky viewing card question

78 Posts
I upgraded to sky+HD a few months back and now have a spare sky box with no viewing card.
I would just like to know that if I had it installed into another room and bought a viewing card off eBay would I still receive all free to air channels.
Also does it matter which card I get as I heard the blue ones will be switched off soon but am unsure whether this is just for subscription.
Thanks in advance

The card provides regionalisation of BBC and ITV and gives you FIVER, FIVEUS and Sky3. FIVE can be added manually if required. If you can live without these, you can use the box without a card.
Yes you will, but just follow Inactive's post and you'll see what you're left with.
