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?

The money that the workers work with is from every April. They used that money to keep the network going on the day to day basics.

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?

Yes is this - I call Analogue old cable and as far as I know Virgin hope to have anyone Digital by 2009.

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.

Channel 4 HD is on it may it just when will it come. Virgin are also rumoured to be in talks with ITV and Five over they HD channels.
