I still remember the gradual removal of channels from 19.2E. I think the final channels were closed by 2002/03? Sky Analogue and Sky Digital co-existed for at least four years.

Think it was 2002. It was very speedy really, but then Sky Digital was so much better in every single regard as far as subscribers were concerned, and there was an ongoing problem with chipped boxes on analogue so it made sense for them to get it done as quickly as they could.

The urgency on the part of subscribers isn't quite there yet, from a functionality perspective Sky Q is still arguably superior, so it'll be interesting to see what new features Sky come up with to incentivise transitioning over. I get the impression the funky telly was part of this and hasn't necessarily been the draw they had hoped.
