It is still Ł7 a month extra for normal HD. Only certain channels though, you get any channels that are on Freeview HD without the HD subscription, but yeah it is ridiculous. We ditched it (all broadcast telly, cancelled the TV license) again about 6 months ago, after a 2 year Sky contract that crept up from Ł55 to over Ł80 a month within that time. We just don't watch broadcast telly any more . Swapped it for Plusnet broadband which has been just as good as Sky (after some initial teething problems, admittedly, and their router was TRASH but they do at least allow you to use aftermarket routers unlike Sky) at Ł25 a month including line rental. Basically I've got fibre broadband, Netflix (4k option), Disney+, Prime Video and Youtube Premium and it's STILL cheaper than a fairly basic Sky package... just crazy.

Dunno to be honest, I don't think it ever really took off, but the number of ads on regular YouTube videos makes it unwatchable without premium at this point IMO.
