Jan: No card is required to watch Sky's fSfS service, unless you want to watch PICK TV, 5* and 5USA. The rest of the channels can be watched simply by connecting the box up.

Jay: They never said that the 600MHz band couldn't be used for TV, they said that they had been directed to look into using it for other uses.

As I said in the article, it may be possible with DVB-T2 to use Single Frequency Networks (SFN).

There isn't a plan, only a slip-up by Arqiva. The hint about "different radiation patterns" does suggest that SFN is being considered.
