SG> Do you need the free viewing card for the radio stations?

No, the free viewing card only enables ITV1, Channel 4 and channel 5.
The FTA radio channels don't need a card, unless you want the
subscription ones, and then you'll have to pay that nice Mr Murdoch.

You don't need to use a sky box to get the FTA channels. I use a
Technisat CAM 1 box with spdif o/p for radio. Much more versatile and
hasn't
crashed once, unlike the sky box.
