You would think they would wanna stay SD!!
But the SD channels are duplicates.

By consolidating and presumably shifting everything to DVB-S2 for bandwidth efficiency Sky reduce the number of transponders needed.

Probably SES have wider plans to reduce the utilisation of their fleet, extending the lifespan and reducing the amount of in orbit redundancy across their orbital slots.
