so because of a small monetary saving to the BBC we now all suffer ( or is
the loss of ITV CH4 and CH5 a suffering)

Just switched on the Digibox and zap.... no ITV etc

£ky will get more money sometime from me, unless of course I could get an
analogue signal ( no Freeview in this part of Cornwall) Could put the Ariel
about 80ft up in the air to see over the hill.... then the Planners might
object or run a coaxial cable about 300 ft to the top of the hill... what
the signal loss on 300ft of cable

It's someone's fault for not publicising the replacement of the cards, so
people would have had a chance to order new ones. They should have
introduced those on-screen messages months ago, imho.

Blame Microsoft's Spellchecker for that..... though how many of you remember
or know what a square four is..... I had a BSA Bandit

But joking aside , have all the old FTV cards stopped working, mine were
relatively new BBC issued cards ( January this year) both went stopped
working on the 14th July

That conjures up a picture in the mind's eye of an Ariel Square Four
mounted on top of an 80-foot mast.

Ohh, we had a Beezer, then a Panther 620cc. My mate Roger used a match to see
if there was any petrol in the tank. He's still bald after all those years.
Happy days!

I would have got anywhere trying to swap a series one FTV card (of which I
also have two) for a series two FTV card.

I had no trouble whatsoever getting four cards (assorted ex-sub/FTV)
replaced.

I don't think that was ever on the cards. There was no funding for it.

I`m already a sky subscriber (family package), I also have FTV card which I
use
in a 2nd hand digibox whilst away in the caravan. It seems this will no
longer work
the next time we are away. Now if I was to order a mirror sub for the family
package,
how long would I have to wait before I could cancel, could I then use the
mirror card
as a FTV card?
