No, and you can't get one from anywhere else either unfortunately.  Sky no longer allow the viewing card to be paired to a different box.

You'll need to call Sky to discuss options, which will be to switch to Sky Q, Stream or Glass.

Actually 2015, we think, because Sky Q was launched in early 2016

 

Almost no manufacturer or supplier will retain stock of decade-old consumer electronic hardware.

Unfortunately,  no. You can no longer pair a Viewing Card with a different box. The only thing you could do is replace the hard disk in your current Sky+HD box, but that's not an easy proposition.

No: Sky withdrew that capability in October 2024 as part of the wind-down of Sky+ HD support.
