The capacity is there to be used. It would be wasted if we DIDN'T use it.
I was coming from the angle that VM were squeezing more HD channels into a mux due to capacity issues.

If the system has been future proofed and there aren't any capacity issues, it won't cost VM any more to utilise any extra capacity that they take (unlike those taking extra space on Freeview or satellite).
