I suspect Sky would want to move to DVBS2 for their own transponders for efficiency reasons, with the goal of slimming down their bills to SES. Doesn't mean that every channel that sub-leases capacity from Sky would need to go HD.
Another obvious goal is for Sky to remove duplicate SD versions of their own channels - though they'd need to stop charging extra for HD! For Sky News in particular, I'm surprised they bother to encrypt the HD version still.
