Hi everyone!

I'd like to know if all new sky cards issued after february don't need to be
matched to their digibox to be able to receive C4 and C5. Is this right?

That is correct

In fact No cards were matched to boxes for C4 or C5

TA Chris!!

I've just come across a post that says C4 and C5 might go subscription only
though. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Yes MIGHT especially if you have a light blue card not a dark blue
one, see here http://www.vowles-home.demon.co.uk/Sat/Sky.htm#ENDofFTV

Thanks for your help Chris!

I've got a light blue card atm, you think it's worth buying a dark blue one
on some of those online auctions..
I just wish these bloody networks made their mind up about what to do with
this subscription thing!!!

Ciao,
Sunny

Thanks for the piece of advice Chris!

Sunny, XX

The evidence at the moment is that both sorts of cards will stop doing FTV
sometime this Summer.

What evidence is this?

The intermittent (postcode linked) cease messages have been going out on
some series two cards as well as on series one cards.

Some people with Sky V2 cards have reported similar messages - I doubt
they will go off as well - could be a glitch


In addition, if the reason for ceasing FTV reception is that nobody is
paying $ky for it any more (and the three commercial companies all say that
they are no longer doing so (or haven't in the case of ITV)) then there is
no present reason for believing that it won't.

But there is nothing to pay (once you have the cards)

Indeed.

- I doubt

I doubt they won't go off as well.

I'm talking about subscription Sky cards - if they go off it will
certainly be unintentional!

- could be a glitch

But almost certainly isn't.

How do you know?

There certainly is something to pay (from ITV, C4 and C5) to $ky - which is
who controls it.

What is there to pay (to Sky not $ky as you keep mistyping) for FTV
that wouldn't be to pay to make the a subscription channel?

Where have you been for the last few weeks?

Whether you like it or not, it has been made crystal clear, (and discussed
here adnauseum) that ITV, Channel 4 and five will soon be made unavailable
to everyone who does not pay Sky for one of their subscription packages.

They will cease to be FTV on Astra, even though they are available for free
on terrestrial (analogue and digital), and are not going to follow BBC down
the FTA path (at least that is the story at present).
