I can't see the demand or urgency to allocate bandwidth to either of the news channels in HD, Sky Arts could possibly merit it but I doubt the viewing figures for the SD versions are large enough either. Somehow I doubt any of those channels would be particularly expensive to carry in HD so the logically the reason has to be technical.
