I think that this is most unlikely. However, if it did happen, the
resulting barrage of complaints would be most entertaining.

It's happening... a message appeared on my FTV BBC/SKY card, I called SKY,
one will have to subscribe to SKY to get ITV1, CH4 and CH5!!! They say the
BBC are no longer going to carry these channels on their FTV cards.

At the moment it's happening only to series 1 cards. Although I am
surprised that this has happened at all I am also a little
disappointed by the general lack of complaints so far.

My new card lost ITV1, C4 five today.. Its a new card too (with the yellow
house logo). I got the card in March 2003, and I ended my subscription at
the end of May 2003, So what does this mean?

It probably means that Sky are deliberately blocking the FTV channels
on series 2 ex-subscription cards. If so, this is pure malice.
