With regards to Milton Keynes, as I explained to you before, it lays in a few valleys restricting TV signals and there are lots of trees also obstructing the signals, therefore in the 70's Post Office Telephones (Now BT) built a Cable Television system to deal with that problem. By the late 80's the service began offering pay-tv channels with a set top box.
There is ongoing talks but there are no dates for when they will or when they can upgrade

Can VM lobby Ofcom to make the BT Cable network have the same regulation as BT Openreach?
