I'm thinking of using my old Sky box to get Freesat Free to Air channels.

Can anyone confirm whether this will work without buying the £20 sky card? I'd understood the card is only required to decrypt a couple of FTV channels. So if I have no card can I still get BBC and ITV without getting prompted to insert my card the whole time.
