i have one of these boxes running in spain off of a communal 2.4mt dish. receives all bbc and itv channels etc. i notice it has a card slot. in uk i have a fully subscribed sky world package. if i put my sky card into the darkbox would i be able to watch sky sports on this box in spain etc. would i need to do anything other than just insert the card (not even sure what way round the card goes!) or would the box need updates etc???, or hopefully i would just insert the card and be able to watch?
many thanks for any advice to this satellite novice!!

It will not work in the card slot as sky changed the cards to the white ones to stop people using the cards in non sky receivers, so the only way is to use a sky box
