I think they may try and tie in the launch of Freesat with Channel 4 going Free To Air on satellite. It's contract with BSkyB for encryption is due to run out failry soon (it is either the end of the year or spring 2008, I can't remember) and it joined the Freesat consortium some time ago along with BBC and ITV.
I also think ITV HD is probably set to launch to coincide with the the start of Freesat as well.
