But I thought that only BBC and ITV had the live rights to games, both of which offer HD anyway (free, or if not free, certainly at a substantial reduction of what sports and HD sub would be anyway), so SKY Sports in HD would not be much of a deal breaker for those wanting World Cup games in HD. And anyway, I imagine any World Cup games SKY show would be on the already available HD sports channels, 1 and 2.

Yes, looking at Wiki the live broadcasting rights are for BBC and ITV only, so there will only be highlights on SKY.
