Freeview only covers channel 4, channel 5 and Sky 3, not Sky one.
For Sky One you need to subscribe to the basic package.
Can you please specify exactly which type of card you require, are you trying to get the new Freesat package?
Freesat is a joint venture between ITV and the BBC, claiming to have more than 80 channels, which I have not seen listed.

Freeview is only digital terrestial in the UK.
You mean Freesat. Sky will sell you a freesat card (ch4,five,sky three,five us and five life) to an address in the UK and connect it to any sky digibox,probably activated in the UK first before you take it away.

This is getting very complicated what with all the Free****** names

FreeView is the DTT service only available through the UK transmitter network

Freesat is the NEW service about to launch which will eventually carry all the UK PSB channels and any other channels which want to join in with the fun but with no scrambling of any sort.

FreesatfromSky is the current non subscription service from SkyUk which uses a 20 quid card to decrypt a limited choice of channels on a sky digibox. This one is likely to be quietly phased out once Freesat launches.

You're welcome. If you can sort it out through a friend in the UK, then that is your best choice. For PM I think you can go to "Private Messages" under your name top-right and then new message.

Good Luck & Happy Easter!
