Look, the transponder can either be in DVB-S or DVB-S2 mode. One or the other.
It does not matter what audio or video you then use, it can be anything at all.
The only reason for not using DVB-S2 for SD is that the decade old Sky boxes don't work with it.

DG: Yes, just to confirm, both Waltham and Nottingham will require a wideband aerial to get the all of the Freeview multiplex, both before and after switchover.
"Wideband" means the aerial will receive signals on all TV frequencies, rather than just a restricted group.

Mick: The BBC swapped the interactive channels for the capacity for BBC One HD and BBC HD.
Sky have taken off their Sky Sports News channel to encourage people to pay for it on subscription. That is how they make their money, being a commercial plc that is their whole reason for existence.
