If you can get a signal from 2d at your location, you can decrypt ITV on your Sky Digibox with a Solus card (or a Sky subscription).
You're unlikely to get a Solus card in time for this weekend - they quote 7-10 days delivery (only to a UK address, of course).

Your other receivers can't be used to decrypt ITV/C4/C5 but if you can receive Astra 2d you can watch BBC, which is not encrypted and needs no card.
