You can carry any video encoding you like over IP, but as the STBs only decode MPEG2 you would have to use that
Well, I am not a techie, but I do understand that the H.264 standard for video compression allows operators to utilise their existing MPEG-2 and IP based networking infrastructures.

I don't know the detail of what VM are planning; they are very secretive about all of this. However, if they really know what they are doing (one can always hope!), the future for VM TV subscribers could be looking quite good in the medium term.
