Default Cloning card for free Sky Channels

I'm not looking for free TV, I would just like to know if its possible to
clone my Sky card as I have recently had Sky Plus installed and have my old
receiver in another room, and would like to access ITV CH4 and CH5. As I
currently using it for all the free BBC channels and am only able to access
the, other free channel when I use my card from my Sky Plus Box.

Thanks in advance for any help

It's not possible to clone a Sky card, even if you want to use the clone for
legitimate purposes. You need to either take out a mirror subscription from
Sky, or get hold of a free-to-view card. To get a free to view card, call 0870
054 1800. It'll cost you a once off fee of around £25 (sorry, can't remember
the exact amount)

Who says that it is not possible? Just because it has not been done does not
mean that it cannot be done.

I say that it is not possible, and I am offering a prize of £4.62 to anyone
that proves me wrong. So put up or shut up.
