    Came home this evening and I have lost all my FTV channels - No EPG even...
    I'm using a UK ex-sky subscription card and previously had BBC1,2,3,4 ITV, C4, C5 and all the FTV satellites...
    Is this because sky launched the freesat thing yesterday???
    Do I have to get another card??

    I heard a rumor that sky would be disconnecting their FTV cards and forcing everyone to shell out £20 for a new one from them...
    Freesat was launched yesterday :(

    ah, i see. however, i doubt they will be able to disconnect our, & the 4 million ppl in britain's digibox's as in the UK you have a right to view the bbc, itv etc channels with our cards. i may be wrong, but i'm sure if this were the case, i would have seen something on skynews or in the papers about it, followed by uproar by the brits.

    Even if you was just watching BBC (free-to-air channel - no card inserted, no subscription) you would still be able to access the EPG. Since that has disappearred I agree with HacksawEddie, there must be a problem at your end (check your connections).

    apologies for the panic - unplugged the digibox and plugged it back in and it was fine!!!
