It doesn't have to be like that on freeview, the streams could be hidden and only accessible from the MHEG, there's no real need for an LCN to be allocated. The pay adult channels on DTT use that method to hide the streams.

Perhaps someone at the BBC decided it would be better to have a similar approach across every platform. Or VM switched to make the streams recordable. Either way, VM doesn't yet have a slot for the freeview RB 302 stream.
