USA/Canada in line with UK on Digital switchover

Looks as if the USA and Canada are also switching over at the same time as the UK.

However, from what i've seen, Analogue Cable seems very popular in the Americas still. However Videotron state that the Analogue switchoff does not effect Analogue Cable.

Videotron do seem to have a lot of services on offer for customers,its a pitty they left the UK!

America is actually ahead of us for aerial switchover - it will be completed by June 12 this year!

Shame Videotron left London,it was really good value for money,although I think that was too grab as many customers and then once they reached a certain amount they would put prices up.

Re: USA/Canada in line with UK on Digital switchover

It's actually Videotron's fault that a lot of people can't get all the Digital services!

They did Southampton - parts of which can't do Digital/BBI. South East London - parts of which can/couldn't get On Demand

They put cheap cables in
