Scared of Freesat as much as anything else, I reckon. There are people out there who want HD but aren't interested in subscription-based channels. But if Sky can reduce the cost of getting Sky+HD and trying out the subscription for a few months so that it's cheaper than going the Freesat route, they may attract some people to give it a go.

Of course if they do that only later will they discover that on cancelling their subscriptions the PVR functionality will cease working ...
