But I imagine that it will all pan our in the next year or two with HD offerings from all the main four broadcasters (BBC, ITV, C4 & Five) being available on all the HD platforms in some way shape or form.

I agree. VM have the rights to C4 HD and ITV HD won't stay exclusive to Freesat for long. Haven't heard much from Five but with so many US imports available in HD it would be a likely one within twelve months too. There's not much love lost between the main broadcasters and Sky, so I expect most if not all to appear on VM as well as via the dish.
More concerning is the lack of UK programming being shot in HD - next to nothing yet homegrown on C4 and still way too much BBC stuff shot in HD.
