There's no chance of Sky dropping the £10/month for HD fee, as there is no reason for them to do so. The £10 fee helps to fund further HD developments such as ITV HD and as more and more content becomes available the £10 becomes better value.
As for Freesat HD, well it's no competition for Sky. A few hours of BBC HD, a largely upscaled C4HD and Luxe HD is never going to be serious competition for Sky's increasing HD provision. Sky are promising even more new HD content before Christmas. What are Freesat offering? Absolutely nothing new, except perhaps a flawed ITV service. As I say, no competion.
