Default is it possible to get 're-programmed' sky cards to see all channels..

hi all.

I was wondering if u could help.
ive had to cancel sky plus in my son's room due to credit crunch.
we still have dish and he has free to air.

No. If you want it you pay for it, and if you can't you go without. End of.

Sky use NDS Videoguard, which unlike Nagra 1 used by Virgin is not hacked to pieces, so one has to pay for encrypted channels.

You could go down the card-shareing route, but thats a whole new ball game.
