I've often wondered how Sky managed to do this so quickly. Did Sky analogue customers get free digital boxes?
If NTL and Telewest had taken the same draconian (but technically astute) measures, cable TV could have been a genuine force rather than a bandwidth-constrained service struggling to accommodate new channels.
