Are you sure about that?

BBC is not encrypted on Sky so works without the Sky card in. I doubt they can block it and if they could pulling the card out would probably allow it to work again.

Freeview can not be blocked because it does not have a card and the providers don't have any access to your box.

Virgin might be able too because they appear to have more control over their boxes as the communicate back to Virgin all the time.
