Of course, they change ahead of PPV events in so far as the elementary streams of individual services are activated for the duration of the event. I was simply stating that it is normal for services "not currently in use" to have their ES streams removed. CITV ES streams are removed each evening for example. Also the Hidden BT HD ES streams are currently inactive but are left defined in the NIT / SDT tables for future use.
VM pretty much use the PPV NVOD services as they see fit for each event. The defined services are basically "PPV Event SD 1", "PPV Event SD 2" and "PPV Event HD". As you already know, the SDT defined names of "Sky Events", "Prime Events" and "ITV PPV HD" are largely meaningless as they can be used for any PPV Event.
