I was trying to keep things easy to understand and user friendly.

Let's take a look.

TSID 22 - formerly allocated for UHD services, now deleted.
TSID 23 currently 7 channels but 6 after taking the BBC time sharing into account
TSID 24 currently 5 + 1 ( Was Paramount test).
TSID 25 currently 6
TSID 26 currently 6
TSID 27 currently 6
TSID 28 currently 6
TSID 29 currently 5 + 1 (Was internal Q - test)
TSID 30 currently 4 + 1 (Was Premier Sport HD test)
TSID 31 currently 4
TSID 32 currently 6
TSID 33 currently 5 + 1 (Internal L - testing)
TSID 34 currently 6
TSID 35 currently 5
TSID 36 cleared of HD channels and redeployed for SD Test ## services
TSID 37 cleared of HD channels and redeployed for SD Test ## services
TSID 38-41 cleared of HD channels and taken out of use - the frequencies previously used for these transport streams have been re-allocated to data/DOCSIS so they are no longer available.

So, 1 free slot on TSID 30, 2 free on 31 and 1 free on 35. Enough space for a maximum of 4 additional HD services with the current configuration.

With more demands for spectrum from DOCSIS and possibly bandwidth greedy UHD, it's easy to see why VM might want to close down a few SD only channels, redeploying the SD transport streams to HD, UHD, DOCSIS etc.
