I'm not sure it wouldn't surprise me though , Roku in the USA are working on a TV with 4K capabilities using HEVC codec so you'd think a box with similar facilities would also be worked on.
Sky could easily introduce a new Now box with higher quality streams using the h.265 HEVC codec which is more efficient than h.264 for both HD and 4K content.
Edit: I suppose the only problem with using HEVC for HD streams would be that Now TV would be incompatible with current devices being that they aren't capable of handling HEVC.
