The channels don't care what format the transmission takes. If they could find a way to do it, VM could use smoke signals for all the broadcasters care.
The move to digital tv was motivated by the platform providers (Sky + Cable) wish to reduce the bandwidth required by individual channels to enable them to fit more channels in the available bandwidth.
Now, with regard to mk, someone is going to have to spend millions upgrading that network. They might only have 10,000 customers in mk, so may not think it's in their interest to spend too much. Sometimes it is cheaper and more profitable to just lose some customers.
