On balance, I think that a dynamic EPG would be for the better. If they had an option to disable this, it would also appease those like yourself who don't want it.

I really hope that VM had the foresight to future proof capacity to cater for the inevitable need to launch more HD channels when they upgraded their television network.
I wonder if the fact that localised channels are carried on the main network, as opposed to being inserted locally, leads to wasted capacity (especially in the case of the BBC1 HD channels)??
The fact that VM appear to be testing out the broadcast of HD channels with reduced bitrate doesn't look encouraging, especially if this leads to reduced picture quality. However, to be fair, the reduction in bitrate may be offset by more efficient ways of doing things.
