Wonder if this means Sky are going to be a more cooperative with ofcom ect over HD channels and other premium channels being made available at a better wholesale price
No this won't happen. It's taken at least 2 years for Sky to accept defeat and sell the stake after being ordered to reduce their stake in ITV. No ruiling has yet been announced reference Pay tv saga and therefore expect a similar scenerio if and when the ruiling is made before Sky accept defeat again. Sky HD channels are not really part of the Pay TV saga although one would expect that it would be included as part of any subscription to sky sports once Virgin media agree to make it available on their platform.
