A Sky box will list 100's of channels in the EPG even without a card, I know, I have one upstairs!

Also goes through them all when you go up/down through the channels, it's a right pain as most of them say "Insert your viewing card"

But you should get (off the top of my head) BBC1,2,3 & 4, ITV1,2,3 & 4, C4 and then not a lot till the higher 100 channel numbers.
A few music channels, shopping channels, CBBC, CITV.
One thing you wont get Channel 5 without a card.

Is this a new install or have you just got a box & plugged it into an existing dish? If so it could be the dish is out of alignment and needs tweaking.
