[QUOTE="indios_se, post: 23534, member: 176036"] bbc webby quotes What is going to happen with my Sky Card If you have a Free-to-View, or 'Solus' card (You have never paid monthly fee to Sky, or any other broadcaster) This card is very likely to be pale blue with the words “Sky Digital” printed on it, and will very shortly cease working to the best of our knowledge mid to end of August. Ultimately SKY will decide the day they will switch off the cards, this is not within the control of the BBC. IF YOUR CARD IS PALE BLUE (1st Generation and obtained before Feb 2003, with the words 'SKY Digital' branded onto it) You will still get the BBC channels that are “Free-to-Air”, and the correct regional (or national) version of BBC ONE at 101, and BBC TWO England at 102, for approximately two weeks after card deactivation. The box will then default to BBC ONE London at 101, and BBC TWO England at 102, independent of where you live in the UK. Your local BBC regional output will be available in the 900’s numbers of the EPG. However without your viewing card you will lose ITV, Channel Four, and Channel Five, unless you start subscribing to a pay-TV package.. We are unable to answer questions on non-BBC services, any enquiries relating to ITV,CH4 and CH5 should be directed to the individual broadcaster.. IF YOUR CARD IS DARK BLUE (With a picture of a yellow house on it, and was received after February 2003) You will get access to all the FREE-TO-AIR channels, & the FREE-to-VIEW CHANNELS.. You will get your correct regional (or national) version of BBC ONE and BBC TWO, plus your localised ITV region, at channels 101, 102 and 103 respectively.. Additionally, if you live in England, your local version of BBC ONE will appear at channel 101 when it is launched at the end of July. If you live in Wales you will get S4C at Channel 104, instead of Channel Four. You will be able to get all the other regional & national variants of BBC 1 & 2 from the BBC in the 900 numbers on the EPG from the end of July, independent of where you live. This card will also cease to function when SKY change their encryption again in the future. We are not able to say at this time how long the dark blue card will continue to function; we will provide further information when it becomes available. When this card ceases to function you will lose ITV, Channel Four, and Channel Five, unless you start subscribing to a pay-TV package. We are unable to answer questions on non-BBC services, any enquiries relating to ITV,CH4 and CH5 should be directed to the individual broadcaster. can someone tell me the type have card i have? ftv card or solus card and the 'IF YOUR CARD IS PALE BLUE (1st Generation and obtained before Feb 2003, with the words 'SKY Digital' branded onto it) anyone clear it up mine is blue with white writing on it. possible this branding means that thw writing is somehow indented in to the card? ta like [/QUOTE]
