I guess this will mean that Channel 4 HD will be the UK's first ever FTA DVB-S2 channel; I have yet to see a FTA UK channel using DVB-S2.

So once Channel 4 offically becomes FTA in April, no Channel 4 HD for +HD users anymore?

Why won't the Sky+HD boxes work with FTA DVB-S2 and can be applied to make them work?

Josh: No, of course not. It's just another lie wrapped up as a "technical problem".

DVB-T2 provides 30% more capacity for no extra money, why would Sky want the FTA broadcasters using it?

Sky have a long history in doing this kind of thing.
