Over some weeks, yes that's what I meant by "moved in stages". However, if that was the case why would they have set up 8 slates only to use 4? Slates can easily be reused, they do it all the time. In that scenario they would only have needed 4 slates with a change of text on the slates for the next batch. It may well take more than one week to complete the move as even moving 8 channels (which is a fairly typical number for housekeeping changes), there are still entertainment channels left at 226, 226 etc. Probably better to wait for the actual slates to be pre-launched before jumping to conclusions. Keep an eye on DBR.
