A payment for ad-skipping has been on the cards since Sky Glass launched; until recently it was included free for the first 12 months, then extended to 18 months, but new customers now have to pay for it.That sounds as though I might not be affected. I have a Sky+HD DRX890, which essentially now operates as a FSfS box, but I pay £10 a month to keep the Sky+ and Catch-up download functionality.
If they do introduce a bar on 'ad skipping' for my set-up, then it's no different to back in the day when ad breaks were a chance to pop to the loo or make another cuppa.
The DRX890 of course being a Sky+HD box so its immaterial anyway as far as this is concerned. All the bulk of the innovations and new things are on Sky Q/Glass/Stream, and all Sky+HD got was a UI rejig which made it look like a boxy version of Sky Q.
