It was a fair bet they would try to open up that possibility if they could. ITV HD has been deliberately encapsulated in a data stream rather than a channel stream to make it harder for Sky, but the broadcast is there and was available to anyone with a sufficiently flexible receiver and a little tuning know-how from day one.

I wonder how many Sky+HD users will become aware they can do this, and give it a try?
