@Dobber1234  Sky have not stopped broadcasting these channels in HD, the channels owners have, please take a few minutes to read this thread https://helpforum.sky.com/t5/What-s-On/Changes-to-the-TV-Guide-April-2025/td-p/4947081/  which goes into great details about UKTV (not Sky) removing the HD versions.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

Does Sky Q have the U app? W and Yesterday content seems to stream in HD at least on the Stream version.  You have to register but it is free.

The app isn't on Sky Q, but U content in HD (including from W and Yesterday) is available on the Sky Q catch up service.
