Bad bad idea, but if they did do this then I assume it'd have to be like Setanta. You'd pay extra rather than Sky/Virgin just putting the prices up. I wouldn't pay.

Anyway they stated how they think it would affect freeview and analogue -

"The four ITV channels would then disappear overnight from Freeview. ITV1 would cease to be “Channel 3” and viewers wanting to watch ITV would be forced to take up a subscription with either Sky or Virgin. "
