Yes, there is if you go back long enough.
As previously explained on more than one occasion, I have no particular positive or negative feelings towards VM. They are merely a service provider who I will continue to use so long as they meet my needs at a price i'm willing to pay. With this in mind, it is fair to say that I am reevaluating my options after the recent removal of certain channels.
AFAIK, the other person you refer to felt the same way and is now set to cancel his TV service with VM. Nothing detrimental has been said about the capacity issues facing VM.
You are correct in saying that more channels could be squeezed in, but this would be at the expense of picture quality. This is what Sky and Freeview have been doing for some time and I believe that, if need be, VM will do the same before going to the expense of creating extra capacity.
Hopefully, they will be able to avoid this by eventually switching off dual emissions of channels in SD once there are no more SD only boxes in circulation.
