However there was access to the SD channels 1-5 plus a handful of other channels - Pick, S4C, BBC/Sky News.

Many thanks for going to the trouble of doing that, it's as I expected, so I'm glad it's confirmed.
Channel 5 HD looks to be going FTA shortly, but it looks like the VM policy is to encrypt the PSB HD variants.
It appears unlikely, therefore, that even if/when Channel 5 HD goes FTA on satellite and Freeview, that it will become FTA on VM until the law is changed (VM aren't allowed to encrypt any channels with PSB status as a condition of their franchises).
