sky hd box help

SCOOP 64

My Ferguson Ariva has stopped working (other post) so for now i found a old sky +hd box in the loft thinking i could use this for BBC,ITV,CH4/5 etc for now, but apparently not, i get BBC ,but everything else is insert sky viewing card, i am not with sky have some old sky cards, i thought ch4/5 , ITV was freeview, anyway around this ,also see Virgin 1/2/3 cant get them as no sky subscription, no ITV on list.

An expired UK card would sort it, I'm sure you can buy one somewhere for 10 or 15 euros

That's what happened to me some time ago but you can reset the box so that you don't need a card. You do need a UK card to reset the box, there are videos on YouTube and instructions on line.
