Well I certainly don't have anything official to base my opinion on - it
just what I think makes sense.
Besides that, I don't see how Sky could show TV2 with a slightly different

It's pretty common with affiliates in the US, from what I gather. Even in
Australia different states will have slightly different programming for the
major networks (i.e. Nine will go to news in the Northern Territory at a
different time than they do in NSW, and often cricket will not be available
live to the state/city where the game is being played). Over here it's only
been done with advertising, AFAIK, but I think regional variations were
mentioned once or twice in the Freeview discussions.
Cheers,
Steve
