Presumably for the same reason that it was supposed that they would
not be available after Dec 31 2003: the original date given on the
website.

What's to stop them putting back the Jan 31 date too? Nothing much.

Because the free2view people plan to pack up shop! It *WAS* supposed to be
31st December but was extended. Lapsed Sky cards will still work.


So someone else will probably do it,

Maybe not! As others have said all the emphasis was on promoting the fact that
V1 card owners could obtain a FTV V2 card and *NOT* on claiming that there
would be an everlasting source of new V2 FTV cards!

It's not going to be like the permanent sale at Allied Carpets, is it?
