With UKTV Play being HD now, is it likely that the HD channels will come out from behind the satellite paywall soon?

I am not sure yet. It is primarily a business decision from the owners to allow their HD channels to go on FTA satellite. With lots of discussion going on about these set of channels potentially going HD on various online forums over the last few months. I feel it is still an ongoing debate that still won't get anywhere soon at this time.
