If anyone hasnt read those articles, please, do. They are fascinating, and quite exciting, given the future of Technology as a whole.

Is that the same for Broadband services also, or are they just doing TV?

This is a rumor given as an excuse for the lack of various different services and channels on Virgin Media.
I have heard that Analogue is costing them so much bandwidth, that this is why we dont get much at the moment.
It has been in the pipeline that this would be completely shut down to free up space, however I was unaware that VM were making Analogue areas "Digital".
In which case, the sooner they shut that off, the better. |
So true Grabbi was very good discusion it was. Some even doubted DVB-c2 was even in existence.
Like Grabbi said its worth reading even if some of the it is very technical what is planned especially the PDF file
which breaks down the HD TV and that the networks are being optimised
Hybrid Fibre Coax (HFC) networks. That it will be future proofed to 10-12 years to improve VOD, interactive and the HDTV role out.
Although whether the system will be capable of beyond current HD standards I would assume it can with the future proofing. although no direct figures are mentioned on specs apart from yours grabbi.
In the future we could be seeing 6-7 years 4k resolutions in HD tvs as norm. Japan have roadmap of 2011 for broadcasting that level of HD.
