If your willing to take the risk, you could get one of ebay. Even though they wont be matched to the box it should open up the free to view NDS encrypted channels. As far as i am aware even if its not received the stay alive signal for a while it should reactivate if its left in the digibox overnigt (switched on tuned to 103, It worked for me).

Dont bother with the old light blue viewing card it wont work. It has to be the one with the yellow house on.

Failing that you could get a free to air card of Sky. Not sure how much they are but i think they're over £20.

Hope this helps

I've found that many of the yellow house cards on eBay are more expensive than a correctly regionalised one purchased directly from Sky!
