V360 boxes could certainty go IP only in a transition phase, so there is no reason SkyQ could not do likewise. As far as satellite distribution goes, it's not just the kit up in space that is expiring, the number of broadcasters prepared to pay for linear distribution is also falling.

It looks as if 2030 is also the "drop dead" date for Sky News in it's present form, as Comcast wants to go down the road of a "Premium digital service" going forward.
