If you stop subscribing the recording facility will be disabled unless you pay a tenner a month (Any recordings of subscription channels will also become unavailable)

Next few weeks.

Also please get the terminology right - its FreesatfromSky not Freeview - FV is the UK's DTT service.

Will I get these channels with my card when my subscription expires in early March? Will the pause and rewind functions of my sky+ box still work?

Yes you will still get the ftv channels (at least until the card swap comes - quite what happens to people in your situation is unclear at the moment.)

Dunno what happens with the playback facility. No doubt someone will be along soon who can tell us
