I would say the card has missed one of its authorisation "stay alive" signals. Leave it on for a few days & 4 should come back

C4 is a scrambled channel (FTV NOT FTA)

Wouldn't 'five' gone as well, if this was the case? Or do they do the channels separately?

Oops hit edit instead of new post. A/S!

Since you can get the signal on your FTA box, apart from a faulty box, there can be no other explanation.
Analoguesat knows what he's talking about. Wait a few days and see what happens.

Its not common but it can affect the different channels over different time frames. Five is ususally one of the first to come back according to posts over on the DS forum.
