I can't go in to too much detail, as I think it's classed as business sensitive information, but 1 will close and the other will be a back-up... regional headends will just be hub sites with some used for VOD.

That makes sense finally we can start to see cable being one unified company where hopefully new services can be rolled out quicker accross the country.

This is a very good question...anyone know?

Can't wait for ITV HD to land. Watching the Stoke v Arsenal game on my V+ box on ITV1 is akin to watching a cheap internet stream. Awful quality.

Here's hoping we have it in time for the FA Cup final, or failing that, the World Cup.
