This is partly what a lot of the extra work & cabling being done recently is for. A lot of it is to add extra VOD capacity and to enable the extra transducers to add capability for new HD channels (most areas should now have 33 or 34 transducers online rather than the previous 31/32).

Why are they making it on demand though?

41 still online here, but only 33 in the NIT - some remnants from before the shuffle last night

Are you in a city ?

VM occasionally add lots of VOD transponders in heavily built up areas to cope with demand although 41 does seem excessive (8 extra transducers is equivelent to approx 80 VOD channels in your local area). The VOD transponders have no need to be part of the NIT tables (or any of the other dvb tables) as all linkage information is sent via the broadband connection.
