You can ring sky up and get a freeview card @ £20.00. Most of the channels i believe are free to air now though.

You do not need a card to watch the free channels - just the four ftv (free to view) channels:

Five
Fiver / +1
Five USA / +1
Sky 3.

You can get C5 if you Add Channels using

27.5 22.0

Then use Other Channels to watch it.

If the card has a yellow house on it, leave it in the box for a few days and Ch 5 should come back. Unless the card has been candled.
