    Well, it is now July 10th and the BBC channels have begun to broadcast in the clear. The rumours in some circles were that Channel 4 would be unavailable FTV from today as well. So far, on my FTV card, that rumour seems to have been false.

    I thought it would be useful to have this thread to keep track of who has what cards and what error messages they get / what channels they lose, if any in the next while....

    I have a Sep. 2002 London FTV card. No messages/problems this morning or so far.

    Generation 1 cards will be switched off starting next month according to the BBC website.

    That was always a non-starter. Their Sky contract doesn't run out for a few years yet.

    Last Monday for a few hours, we started getting a message on ITV1 Granada saying that this service will soon end. This was using our version 1 FTV card from Manchester. Nothing since then though.
