You decided to look where? Every headend has a different frequency plan for transport streams. What you see on an individual network almost certainly won't be the same in other regions.

What data are you using to determine what is being broadcast on the VOD transport streams? Any scan will only show usage at a given point in time for a given location. Remember that VOD distribution is more similar to DOCSIS than it is to normal broadcast transport stream distribution. What you can see is usage in your local neighbourhood (or the neighbourhood local to wherever the data is scanned). It may not accurately show usage trends on the local network or on Virgin nationally.
