Although, I wouldn't be surprised if Sky use this as an opportunity to lock ITV Digital Channels and Channel 5 into longer term pay-tv deals and try to block them going onto the new freeview multiplexes.

I agree in my opinion this will ramp the pressure up on Sky and will mean many people wont look too favourably on the HD charge , the traditional pay TV operators are going to start to lose customers just like their counterparts in the USA did with mounting pressure coming from OTT providers and better sub free alternatives.
