Hmmm, yes that does seem to be the most likely cause of such a large drop in services. There were only 15 dormant BBC Olympics * channels as BBC Red Button 1 is still active, so that leaves 1 other service removed.
Other candidates:
S4C HD - there are 2 services associated with this (SID 2355 S4C HD Slate and SID 2356 S4C HD) and we are only looking for 1. VM may be holding onto these for future one-off events.
Africa Channel (SID 658) - the channel has gone but VM may be holding onto this to avoid customer problems with playing back any recordings.
Hidden 22 (SID 2211), Hidden 23 (SID 2311) and Hidden 103 (SID 10320) - it is safe to exclude Hidden 103, it isn't in the regional NITs, so wouldn't be in the Total Channel count anyway. Hidden 22 is probably still needed as TS ID 22 isn't carrying any services at present. Hidden 23 is probably redundant as TS ID 23 is now carrying permanent services Sky Sports Mix HD, Universal Channel HD & Sky Hits HD.
I can't think of anything else at the moment.
