There's no technical reason why not (on cable at least, and I can't imagine satellite would be any different).

But commercially I'd guess it's not viable. 14 HD streams wouldn't come cheap. They'd still have to carry SD versions for the majority of users who don't have HD-capable boxes.

(I wonder if Sky have redeployed their old SD production kit on the red button feeds? Would make sense)
