Viewing card

[kirapops]

Hi I have a spare sky+ box in my bedroom that I want to use as freeview but it won't work as it needs a viewing card how can I get a card 

[Annie+UK]

Freeview is delivered by a TV aerial and NOT a satellite dish

A Sky+ box, with the correct dish, will work as a FreeSAT receiver without a viewing card

It will only do that if you are trying to access a channel that requires a subscription

Yes trying to get bbc player and other online stuff I'm sure I read a while back that you paid sky £20 for a card for this content

Sky don't provide that service any more but no harm in calling and asking

You can contact Sky using the number here (See the "Need more help?" dropdown near the bottom of the page)

Note: Make sure you have the correct country flag selected in the bottom-right of the page
