Sky card missing!!!

Hi all,
Can anyone advice me on how to get a new sky card, my kids misplaced ours and we cannot get some channels again even bbc 1, channel 4 & 5. and I am tired of phonning sky and keeping me on hold without any help. So kindly bring in suggestions on how to get a new one or even any used one if there is anyone who want to get rid of theirs or has a spare one.

Thanks.
Dii

    Dare i say it there are some naughty people that sell
    these as 2nd user on Ebay. This is strictly illegal as the cards remain the property of Sky at all times and are not transferable.

    I would continue to try and contact sky for a replacement if i were you.

    Sky says I am not their customer, because I bought the Box as a one off payment. no monthly subscription required.Back then I got the card from BBC ,Which they no longer do anyway. So

So I don't know what next to do because I cann't afford another monthly payment, if only what Ineed is just a card. Well I think someone out there should be able to help.

    Thanks Dii.
