How will they do this?
1. Add new bandwidth.
or 2. Closed down 'Old Cable' - doing this can add upto 7 new Digital Channels for ONE 'Old Cable' channel.

Thanks, TV Boy, but I'm confused!
1. You mean they can just add new bandwidth, just like that? Did they not add enough to cope with developments last April? And why wait until April?
2. As far as 'old cable' is concerned, I assume you mean 'analogue' and my understanding is that the remainder of the analogue system will be converted to digital by the end of the year. Is this what you meant?
Last question TV Boy - do you think VM will add more than the terrestrial HD channels to the system? This is so important because VM's profitability is dependent on new subscribers and new subscribers with their HD-ready tellys are going to opt for Sky with the digital switchover if VM don't offer more HD. This will put us even further behind and VM still won't have enough money to develop cable to its full potential.
