No it won't.

Who has rights to the content? it's that which controls it, not the
technology


But the vast majority see satellite TV as Sky only and subscription. Not
simply as another means of receiving television (and radio) broadcasts,
with equipment you can buy and install yourself.

Maybe when the BBC/ITV Freesat service launches things will change a
little.
