You will still be able to watch loads of tv channels on your existing sky box.

We're doing a varient, getting Sky+HD, storing old Sky box. Unsubscribing from multi-room and using that box & card as Freesat in the caravan once I get a suitable dish.
And our son uses Sky Go0 -
Why sell the HD box you will still be able to view the BBC, ITV and channel 4 HD channels without a sub.That gum you like is coming back in style.0

Selling your HD box won't recoup very much money...0 -
If you want Freeview then yes, you must connect your TV to an external aerial. Freeview is a terrestial service, you can't get it through your old Sky dish and box.No free lunch, and no free laptop0

Yes - but you just need to phone Sky to get them to pair up your viewing card - with your old box, if you are going to remove it and sell the HD one.
You still get loads of tv channels without the viewing card - but not your own regional BBC and ITV news (i think).0
