Question New SKY card required

There appears to be a fault with my SKY viewing card so I am in need of a new one. The problem is that I am no longer a subscription customer and as such only get the freebie channels. What are the chances of me calling them and getting a new card sent to me?
I have freeview but the reception is quite sporadic especially with CH4 and 5 so the SKY was handy.
I dont want to queue in their calling system only to find out they wont send me one.

Cheers

Paul

A freesat viewing card is £20 IIRC from Sky.
Dunno what chance you have of getting one free....

PS there's an 0800 number for sky if you look at that 0870 numbers for free website (google).

£20 for a card - hardly "free" view is it?

You can get the SKy channels from £7.50 a month now - try getting them to switch you back on - then get a card off them for nowt, then tell them you don't wany sky anymore when you've got your new card saying the a month of their channels was enough...
