yes i had the same problem, i bought a new samsung tv with freeview and so after 6 years i ditched sky, but after a bit i got fed up with the freeview and plugged the sky box baCK IN ( THE NEW ONE THEY GAVE US WHEN WE MOVED) anyway a warning kept coming up on channel 5 and then channel 4 saying we would be losing the channel soon and so i rang sky up, after paying them a monthly fee since we got it for my youngest sons 14th birthday (he's 24 this year) they said that that was the only way we could use it, but this card for a one off fee, i'll not tell you what i told them, but anyway, i immediately unplugged the sky box and sorted the freeview out, Sky can get stood on,
