I would say they are just supplementary services like +1 channels and don't merit carriage in HD. I wouldn't say that there are capacity issues. TS11 is empty other than the unknown channel aka BBC Red Button 5 which Media Boy has found on digitalbitrate. From the data on that site, the service doesn't seem to have been added yet, it links to a slate. It's unlikely to be BBC Red Button 5, it is just using its old SID number. I guess the BBC Red Button 5 placeholder and perhaps the BBC Red Button 2 to BBC Red Button 6 range will shortly be moved to placeholder SID numbers outside the normal range before the mystery service is revealed.

Well, there's that but they have given up (I think) 20 transport streams over the last few years.
I understand they are testing other methods of delivery that could save quite a lot of "spectrum".
