Digital is available in my area (it seems) as I just did a check, although I've never really had anything from NTL or Virgin about it directly, and to be honest, I've never really needed it as until recently I've been quite happy with analogue - I had sky one, uk gold, discovery, news 24 and the standard channels, and was pretty happy. As a non-serious television watcher, just watching it in my spare time when I get the chance, but wanting to make sure what I watch is what I enjoy, I was happy.
Therefore, losing Sky One was quite significant for me, hence why I wanted to disagree with your previous message
