Assuming it's the same trial/pilot, and it probably is, it was suggested at the time that it was designed to be aimed at (a gap in the market of) people who are only a little interested in TV and would never go for a full proper package, as they are mainly interested in On-Demand Apps. People who only have Broadband from VM are typically the sort that fall into this category. They gave the impression it wasn't a full service and was mostly Apps.
And it wouldn't take much of a change to allow all customers to use it eventually, so they can scale the service up at a comfortable rate rather than have too much demand and it impact service quality. It could well launch to all customers, and it could also be expanded to a full service. I'd discount nothing, companies change their minds between pilots and launches.
