Viacom is adding extra channels such as VIVA +1 and 5STAR +1 to Freeview (DTPS licences issued by Ofcom) but there's no confirmation of where they are going. There is quite a lot of spare capacity on Freeview for very limited hours during the day. It's possible that Viacom may be joining the other EPG squatters on Freeview and adding channels for a few hours in an attempt to gain better EPG slots. I guess we'll find out fairly soon.

If they add channels full time, they may also want to add them on VM, again, we'll find out eventually.
Isn't there still plenty of space on coms 7&8? This does have restricted coverage though.

Wasn't Premier Sports recently sold? I doubt the new owners would want to sell so soon, unless they were given a very good offer.
