If I cancel do I lose my local BBC1?

I'm thinking of cancelling my Sky subscription but, if I leave my card in the box, will I continue to get my local BBC1 region or will it default to BBC1 London? And will I be left with the same channels that I get on Freeview?

    you'll keep the same BBC and ITV regions.

    you'll continue to get all the FTA and FTV channels.

    You will get your local BBC region but will only get some of the freeview channels.

    Dave & Yesterday on freeview but pay channels on Sky.

    You'll still get regional BBC and ITV.

    You'll get Freesat from Sky channels, NOT Freeview channels ('Freeview' is a brand name for DTT)...

    Providing you keep your existing "white" viewing card in the box you will retain your current regional channels. On some boxes removing the card and rebooting the box will revert the box to factory defaults of BBC 1 London, BBC 2 England and ITV1 W Midlands.

    Will I still get Channel 4 and Channel 5 though?
