The free channels work without a card. The Clue is in the name.

There is the "Freesat-from-sky" Teaser service with Sky3, Fiver, Five us and a couple of other.
That is £26 to an address in UK (inc N.I.) with a Post Code.

If you ring saying you are in North they will offer to post a Card and will take Credit card for £26. Post only to a UK address including valid post code.


Here is list of free channels your box gets with no card http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_free-to-air_channels_in_the_UK

Can anyone give an update as to the state of play with these cards now? Are you not entitled to get a sky free sat card in Ireland from sky Ireland ??
