George Smith: If you cancel your you will still receive all of the free to air (FTA) , along with the handful of free to view (FTV) channels and the correct BBC/ITV/C4 by leaving your existing viewing in place. You won't be able to watch any downloaded/recorded programs as the Sky+ functionality will be disabled once your subscription has ended. Your subscription to Premier Sports 1/2 won't be affected as long as you keep the same viewing card ( is FTA and does not require a subscription).
