FSFS (FreesatfromSky) seems to have been withdrawn

According to various reports from the DS forum FSFS is no longer available - phoning the 08442 number gets a "service is no longer available" recorded message. This is another sign C5 will start going fta in the near future.

Presumably Five US & Fiver will go into the entertainment pay service. No idea what will happen to Setanta Sports News.

Well Sky3 is exceedingly unlikley to go fta so at a guess it will be shunted back into the entertainment pack.

Quick update - from the DS forum

If you dial 08442 410 595, the initial recorded message says "to buy Freesatfromsky, press 2". This takes you straight to a live human being who can and will deal with your request to buy FSFS. I've done it twice now. Don't press 1 - that will take you round the houses.
SO it looks like the phone number has changed and the FSFS website hasnt been updated
