Yep - it'll be SDV-based transport over the CATV.

Also, will this result in one, big, happy network? As I understand it, there were super-headends for the different cable networks - one for ex-NTL; one for ex-Telewest; another one for ex-CW.

After the switch to the Next-Gen/IPTV network, will there just be one, super-duper headend for the entire network?
Yep - as above Langley Super Headend (the ex-ntl SHE) with Knowsley (ex-TW SHE) as backup, and local content added at Regional Headends as required.

Bromley SHE is I think already closed.
