I would suggest that Sky's SD output is not the best to assess - there's long been a suspicion that Sky deliberately compromises the SD versions of its channels to increase the quality distinction of the HD variants. Sky Sports News on SD on the V+ isn't great either.
Try flipping between Film4 and Film4 HD on the TiVo; the SD / HD discrepancy is notably less than flipping between Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 1 HD.
