Ah cool they've finally announced this, it's been a work in progress for ages.

This will, simply, end theft of TV as it is right now. It'll free huge amounts of bandwidth on the coaxial network too.

It'll also be good for the internet side of the service as that will benefit from some network upgrades on the return path. This service needs a return path to work, no return path no TV.
