Well, just recently Channel 4 have slowly axed the "HD" bug next to their on-screen logo. Plus, Sky's channels have done away with advertising as "Sky [CHANNEL] HD" years before anyone really did, as the introduction of Sky Q came into play. However, I still think there are plenty of channels still broadcasting in SD, and we're a long way away from those upgrading to HD.
I attribute it down to limited Freeview space and a harshly scarce (if not, slowly growing) adoption of internet-based TV, since with the latter, you're able to broadcast a 1080p signal quite cheaply through servers, as opposed to chunky old transmitters. But more and more of the UK's internet infrastructure has to be upgraded before we're even able to receive a basic 1080p signal, let alone 4K.
