Sky One in The Clear

Sorry if this is old news, but flicking around channels last night (verified again this morning around 6) and Sky One was unencrypted - not sure if it's FTA but is certainly clear with my FTV card in the box. My colleague also watched it last night on his FTV setup. Hope it lasts.

There has been rumours that in UK those cancelling a Sky Sub can ask for Sky 1 Mix free as part of an alleged "Sky view for free pack"

Was it Sky one or Sky1 Mix?

I shall peruse at lunch...

T'was Sky One. Forgot to check if Mix was free as well.

Hi I've got a FTV card and cannot get Sky One on it. Do you have to contact Sky. But It seems a bit odd to me that it should be available as its sub channel and is not on Freeview.

I don't normally get Sky One either - hence this thread. Last night and this morning it was available for free. I'm at work at the mo' so I can't say whether it's gone back to normal scrambled mode or not. There's no point in asking Sky for it as it's officially a subscription channel. If that changes or has changed, then it will be clear for all to see.
