Again, the reasons why particular HD variants are missing vary. The channel may be in a contractual agreement to be exclusive on one particular platform for a length of time, such as ITV Encore HD, the channel owner may be literally or effectively refusing to allow VM access due to unreasonable carriage costs charged eg Sky Atlantic HD or it may be that both parties cannot agree carriage terms for a whole variety of reasons (including financial viability) eg MUTV HD.
AFAIK, VM don't have any bandwidth constraints that are preventing them launching any new channels as they have been upgrading their network behind the scenes.

Morning All,
Thanks for the insight Richard.
Be interesting to see which part of that spectrum the non-high profile HD variants sit.
Hope VM can secure these one day. Would improve their already vastly improved TV service that little bit more.
