No! That *WAS* Sky's original position *BUT* now they are saying that
(probably only for the initial HDTV Digibox) the HD output will normally
be available via component video as well. Broadcasters *will* have the
option of downgrading the component output if they wish to but Sky
themselves have said that they will not do this for their own channels.
