I hope that is an error they will correct as that is just stupid.
Probably not an error, HD viewers on Sky have a similar situation. Basically the HD channels have priority but there isn't a SD Premiere+1 HD available to get priority.

As it was added to a transport stream used for pop-up SD channels such as the BBC Olympics channels it wasn't altogether unexpected.

They are FTA channels and make their money from advertising. As they don't have any premium content to sell, they should be paying for carriage not asking for a payment.
