Well even on Sky they haven't swapped the first 5 channels to HD because exactly that - the HD channels are one single channel for the whole of the country whereas the SD are regionalised. This also affects Channel 4 and possibly Channel 5 since believe it or not they also have regional variations, but only for advertising.
I read that the BBC Trust were supposed to be presented with plans of making the HD channel fully regional but haven't heard any news since.
But even if there was a forced swap, the SD channel would still be there but just on a different channel number so your series link would be unaffected as with all channel moves.
