Moving a Sky viewing card

I'm going on holidays to West Cork next week and with our glorious Irish weather, we are planning many indoor activities.

There is a Sky setup in the house we are going to but no subscription. It is only picking up whatever FTA(FTV?) channels are available. It would be handy to have more channels available, especially for the kids.
Could I bring my Sky viewing card or even the digibox with me and receive all the channels we get at home? I don't subscribe to sports or movies at home but we do have the Disney channels activated. Wouldn't be too worried about those if we couldn't get them, though.
Thanks for your help.

you can just bring your card if you like and you will recieve and channel thats not a premium channel, although I'm not sure about the disney channels , you can bring your box if you like too and it will work just like it does at home

i thought a card had to be paired with a receiver?
