Sky Real Lives is now simply called Real Lives leading many people to believe that this will be the next Sky channel to go FTA.

I doubt Sky will want to make it look like they have less sports channels.



There are no restrictions to HD channels wanting to join Sky, it's just the SD launch queue that's been closed.

This means that they could obtain a slot from an SD only channel and launch a new HD variant.
