Looks like Sky are ensuring their HDTV content is going to be secure as their boxes

"However, it was when discussing how the HD signal would be delivered from
the Sky decoder box to a projector/plasma TV/LCD TV that the bombshell
emerged, as Sky stated that the vast majority of HDTV programming will only
be viewable if carried via HDMI or DVI connections that support the HDCP
digital rights protection system. In other words, if your projector or flat
panel screen only has component video inputs or an HDMI/DVI jack NOT
compatible with the HDCP system, it will not show the majority of Sky's HD
services.
Sky has long been troubled by how to stop people copying its broadcasts
illegally, so perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised that it's jumping at the
chance to use HDCP. But the ramifications of the decision are huge for us
punters, as countless flat panel TVs and projectors that don't have the
necessary digital connectivity are already proudly installed in people's
homes, presenting the buyers with the nightmare scenario of having to
upgrade by 2006 a screen they thought would last them for many, many years."

Thanks for clipping that, Loz.

We can assume that the chance of HDTV being LOGO-FREE will be zero.

Could this be more along the lines of Sky wanting to force people to use
their own PVR system if they want to record HD programmes?
