If they do that for Sky+ boxes it would be great. Imagine being able to use the full functionality of the Sky+ box I bought for full price.

I guess, that in the UK at least, Sky will relaunch Freesat from Sky, where you don't need a card, the FTA channels have a good EPG (hiding the unsubscribed channels) and will likely allow Sky + boxes to record the FTA channels, they might even launch one or two more FTA channels exclusive to Sky boxes.

They will need to do this as they won't want people replacing their Sky boxes with these new Freesat boxes. If people keep their old Sky boxes, they can always easily re-subscribe to Sky or get the PPV channels, but not if they dump their Sky boxes. So it is in Sky's interest to make Freesat from Sky atttractive.

It's unlikely.
A large income is Sky outrageous charges for EPG. Which costs them almost nothing. If a FreeSat channel is not on the Sky EPG, they have a problem. They are unlikely to get a licence to allow Sky box to use Freesat EPG system.

A second large income is NDS security. Which costs nearly nothing (NDS & Sky both part of Murdoch empire).

They may add more channels to the FTV card and offer some FTA channels unconnected with BBC/ITV "free" encryption and "free epg". Thus limiting Freesat.

Even more than this.

If you remove your sky card, Channel 5 now shows up at 105 as do all the other sky channels.

BBC 3 and BBC 4 are now appearing on the Irish EPG also at 229 and 230.
