Probably. Though if there are any HD swap-out/replacements, they'll likely happen a few days earlier like with the Discovery channels.

Bare minimum Channel 5 and Paramount go HD only. There's no ad region differences and they are available on all tiers.

Following the new deals with Sky, Discovery and Viacom, which other carriage deals are up in the next few months?

Well with Discovery in certain cases, the SD and HD channels included within separate TV packages (e.g. TLC SD was included in the Mix TV package, whereas TLC HD was available in the Full House TV package). Where this was the case, the HD channel did replace the SD channel in the that package. This means you'll still continue to enjoy all the great programming on that channel after the change.

You are getting Sky mix up with FOX - National Geographic Society and Disney Channels Worldwide own NGC-UK Partnership.

I did know Fox was part of the Nat Geo group, I just thought I vaguely remembered Sky being a partner too. That could just be a misremembered thing because Fox had connection to Sky before the Fox/Disney deal recently.

Sky did own a stake in the NGC-UK Partnership. It sold it to Fox who as we know were bought by Disney.

The channel is owned by the NGC-UK Partnership, which was formed in 1997 as a joint venture between National Geographic Television & Film, a division of the National Geographic Society and British Sky Broadcasting through its Sky Ventures division. The NGS provides programming expertise, while BSkyB provides its expertise on distribution, marketing, commercial and advertising sales. The partnership builds and operates National Geographic channels and services across Europe. It is headquartered in London. In December 2006, News Corporation purchased 25 percent of the Society's stake in the company. This meant that BSkyB owned half company, while the National Geographic Society and News Corp held 25 percent share each. In December 2007, BSkyB sold its stake in the partnership to the Fox Entertainment Group, through its Fox Networks Group subsidiary.
