I can see this being an annoyance to VM and Sky as it makes it easier for people to cancel their TV service and just use their smart TVs for all services.

It could be beneficial for the altnets who use Netgem for their TV services as Netgem currently requires a TV aerial for its Freeview channels in the same way that BT TV used to.
It depends on what it is and at the moment there is just publicity blurb rather than technical details. If it is something like DVB-I, as some think it may be, it will need more than an app. Maybe a Freely STB as an add-on.
