I had 'Cilla' on my recordings from ITV a few years ago and the series of 3 suddenly disappeared without trace.
I eventually managed to see it on ITV Encore, but I was rather annoyed at the time.

As far as I'm aware broadcasters don't have the ability to delete existing recordings from the box, although it would be an interesting one to query. They can however prevent something from being recorded in the first place.
Sky certainly don't delete existing recordings when you downgrade or cancel a subscription. They remain in the planner until deleted by the user or by the normal disk management if the space is low.
You can even record something from a channel you don't subscribe to, then upgrade your subscription at a later date and play it back.
