Free To Air cards don't exist.

Note: FREE TO AIR - this means the broadcast is not encrypted in anyway so
you don't need a viewing card to watch the channel.

Maybe you are getting confused with Free To View, which does require a
viewing card due to the broadcast being encrypted but no subscription
required, only a handful of channels are FTV around 200 are FTA.

You buy them from Sky at £20 each, www.freesatfromsky.com however they won't
give you large numbers, only 2 or 3.

If so, you can have mine for £40.

I don't use my Sky box for anything except my Bloomberg TV feed now days 
since "five" went DOG-shit.
