08/07/03 BBC removal of encryption "all day task"
The BBC have informed SDO about Thursday's switchover to Free to Air, which
will allow viewers' free access to all BBC channels without the need of a
Solus viewing card. The channels were shifted to Astra 2D during last month
and all that remains now is the removal of encryption. The BBC channels
will
begin broadcasting unencrypted from 6am on Thursday. Also on Thursday the
BBC will stop subsidising the Free To View viewing of ITV 1, Channel Four
and Five. However, it is widely believed that ITV 1, Channel Four and Five
will be available until the end of the month, Updated: 19:20

Break:
17:14

So if you have a couple of digiboxes connected with a free to air card,
then
you loose ITV, Ch4 and Five potentially from tomorrow.
