Removing sky card to save energy

I don't subscribe to sky, but I have a sky box and card. I've noticed how hot the card gets after a while. I imagine there's a lot of electronics inside that do nothing but check the card regularly for encryption purposes, even when it's on a free to air channel. I wonder if removing the card will deactivate a lot of internal processing and hence save energy long term. Just a thought.
