...yes it would need a CMTS to be installed in the headend... which they would do .. if BT would let them. (BT Global Services division own the building .. the fibre backbone.. and the last mile coax from the green cabinets.)
On another thread someone posted VM had costed an upgrade for the entire franchise at 3 million pounds and that it was apparently looking more likely than ever to get an upgrade. Hell .. it was claimed for so long that Slough would never see a digital signal down it's cable network .. and look where we are now?
You know, the weirdest thing about all this is that I can think of another ex BT Cable franchise (Washington in Tyne & Wear) that was upgraded during NTL years... but maybe that was an outright purchase rather than a lease ??
back to thread topic - why does the Milton Keynes franchise not show Sky1 anymore - even though the sky basics carriage was concluded afterall? Can any VM person check this apparent anomaly?
Have heard from a VM insider some interesting news... the talk internally is of a full scale digital migration in Milton Keynes beginning 2011 ! Either docsis3 running over Cable PON (as it's called over here in the States) , or upgraded HFC plant.
You heard it hear first! More nitty gritty .. as I get it..

Re: Sky One Not Back in Milton Keynes
Actually, I knew that! I got confused between multiple threads I was posting in.
