The Sky Arts situation is more about what isn't being disclosed on the discovery bar info. I get that Sky won't want the Mixit / M / Player version in HD but I can't see it staying in SD for users on levels in between. Sky Arts was originally in the Documentaries personal pick so the HD version could be made available to anyone with that. Probably better to put it in the Entertainment+ Tier though as the SD version is already available to basic level users. Same with Sky News HD, although there are no details at all of what will happen there. It will be interesting to see which subscription tiers the Sky channels fall into after the change.

A lot of SD channels with dual illumination (i.e. also available in HD) will be removed with the HD channels shuffled up to fill the gaps. I guess the HD channels will also have to change to the subscription packs used by the SD channels being removed or there will be a lot of phone calls from disgruntled customers.
Totally get what you are saying , banner just says hd is easier to find , SD channels are shown as far forward as the epg lets me go .
