Fiver / Five USA are ftv and require a valid card (ftv or subs) from Uncle Rupie

Not really - you can add any channels that transmit up to your level of subscription. Therwes almost nothing transmitting off the epg these days - very few test occur these days since Sky closed the epg queue

Keep going to the car boot sales,you might pick up a card for a few pence.
Or "scrounge" an old card from family or friends,if they have got new viewing card.

While the card change is happening, you may get a few weeks off an old card
