Easily confused

I just recently moved and rented a room in a home with an exsisting Direct tv account with 3 receivers already in use except for my room.
When I moved I had direct tv service but obviously from a seperate account and I took with me my equipment witch includes a HD DVR, and 2 standard receivers.
The house has a standard round nothing special dish but it is ran to a 8 way multi-switch so I plugged in to it and ran coaxial cable into my room and hooked up my standard receiver but with no success.
The message on the screen reads (channel not purchased. (721) RID: #### #### #### Card: ####-####-#### both being different numbers so my question is; is there anyway around this besides calling direct tv and getting a new access card or do I have any other options like maybe copy information out of the main receiver?
Sorry about the long story but if you can save me from having to wait for a new access card or having to pay a installer to come out I would appreciate it.
