I imagine it’s just the case that the BBC haven’t yet got around to upgrading the playout system, but have launched the channel in HD anyway to provide an outlet for the live coverage which is already available in HD. Especially since they’ve already made the necessary technical changes on satellite to accommodate the channel, as part of BBC One HD upgrade work.
Rather like the English regional studios HD upgrades, they probably will already be planning to make the channel fully HD - it’s just a question of extra work they haven’t yet done. I would be surprised if we don’t see a playout upgrade within a year or so.
