Re: Sky "slash" price of SkyHD box. Could this be related to virgin getting HD share?

Just trolling through pages on web and found this - got excited then noticed date...

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/cable/a2...h-in-2006.html

snippet about Virgin HD - "In terms of the offerings, it's a wonderful medium for sports and live events, but it's also a competitive advantage - over time - against satellite because in the end we have more capacity so we can do more channels on HDTV than they can," explained Duffy. "It's also a competitive advantage over DSL, just given the bandwidth differences."

guffaws out loud follwed by - "The analogue switchoff we've previously announced will be complete by 2006, which will free up capacity for HDTV delivery," explained Smith. "I think the HDTV delivery plan is slightly ahead of NTL's but we probably will talk to make sure we're delivering a compatible service."

laugh out loud...
