Sky HDTV and FTA news

Later this year, BSkyB will introduce a FTA satellite proposition offering
access to almost 200 television and radio channels and interactive services
which are available without a monthly subscription fee. Consumers will be
able
to purchase a package of reception equipment (including a Sky digibox,
minidish
and initial viewing card) direct from BSkyB for a one-off cost of £150.00
including standard professional installation.

In a separate initiative, BSkyB will again demonstrate its commitment to
lead
innovation in digital television with the development of a premium package
of
channels in the High Definition Television (HDTV) format. Following the
successful launch by BSkyB of the UK's first digital television service,
first
interactive television service and first integrated Digital Video Recorder
Sky+,
the proposed introduction of HDTV to the digital satellite platform in 2006
will
ensure that Sky customers continue to benefit from the most advanced
television
services available.

Only part of which is FTA, the remainder is FTV.
As been pointed out already they're offering nothing which isn't already
avialable already.
I wonder if they'll provider FTV cards to those who already own
a digibox ?

Were Sky really the first to release a DVR ?
I bet HDTV will require a new box too.
