DVB C2 apparently exists. Never been used and nobody gets anywhere near their proposed or current channel numbers per stream. Virgin currently have a max of around 10 TV channels per mux.
Just to further cloud the water, or as I like to put it p*ss in your drink, Virgin do not source and encode any channels directly themselves so creating any highly compressed DVB C2 muxes themselves is a pipe dream.
Next idiot......
In fact the puppet from Virgin never mentions DVB C2 in the artcle. As he can't. they aren't planning on using it anytime soon. |
no its not be made by VM its being developed Eurocablelabs on behalf of european cable companies. That means its been payed for by them.
Of course he did directly mention this he did not mention docsis3.0 but we know docsis3.0 getting rolled out. He did mention something which actually is very intersting that VM will be heavily investing to bring content and even be making own user-generated content.
He actually does mention about transforming the physical infrastructure and providing higher service level. By the way the whole article reads that likely shows its refering to upgrading the service provided to provide a better product for its customers. Just because not direct comment to DVB-C2 doesnt mean it wont happen maybe he under NDA at the moment as its just in development still.
What I think will happen is they will get the infrastucture upto scratch first and make it better future proofed. This is why the statement made recently about not bidding for premium content. In this comment its likely things like football live games etc.
Simply the money is already spoken for.
They will let setanta deal with this.
They will launch more HD content once system upgraded. If they pick up customers they may revue bidding for premium content.
Stop being such a pesimist the future brighter
