I admire your confidence and wish you never to stumble across a less than honest seller.

also dont Sky have shares in ITV ?

They do, although they have been ordered to sell them due to competition issues.
However they don't own enough shares in ITV to force them to provide ITV HD to the Sky platform.
ITV HD will not be provided to Sky until ITV is content that it has gained maximum advantage from having it exclusively on Freesat. Much the same way as Sky has always treated the cable companies with its own new channels really.

OpenTV is the standard across the world.

Open TV is not a standard. It's a widely-used but proprietory system. Freesat uses MHEG because this is the same platform as was deployed for Freeview, making it quicker and cheaper to port interactive content between the two.
