Absolutely right, although for some distressing reason I couldn't remember the name of either of them yesterday.

MHEG is what's used in Freeview boxes, which is why it was chosen for Freesat, to try to ensure the simplest possible route to carry development work already done on one platform over to the other (although it's not quite as simple as that - there was an interesting post on this on one of the BBC blogs a couple of months back, the Internet Blog, I think).

They won't use Open TV because it is anything but open.
