I dont understand why Discovery doesnt work with Virgin Media,Smallworld,Wight Cable and Tiscali more closely than Sky, Fox/sky is a large broadcasting competitor of Discovery.

Furthermore, has anyone noticed? Virgin 1 on freeview starts at 6pm! They must be loosing advertising revenue over this! Why not broadcast it 24 hours!

And with regards to Analogue switchoff, there is a big problem in Westminster,Most properties you are not allowed to have outdoor Aerials and satellite dishes, therefore if the westminster franchise was to close, people are going to have no TV!

Even with Tiscali TV or BT Vision, you still need an aerial!

BT wont like it if Virgin Media closes down the franchise as they will loose there tennant!

What if BT takes over the customer base again and upgrades the network themselves, however, they will have to stop selling BT Vision products in these areas for competition reasons.

And is not possible to rebroadcast Digital channels down Analogue signals???
