They would need a lot more bandwidth, you can broadcast about 8 SD channels with the same bandwidth it takes to broadcast one HD channle although with MPEG4 being used by Sky that maybe more efficient. Next you need HD playout facilities whether you do that inhouse or via a third party that also cost a lot of money.
