Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2009)
Isn't the talk of HD coming " soon " rather academic at the moment ?

Is the physical state of the network up to carrying all or any of these channels at this moment in time ??

COULD they launch as of RIGHT NOW say ITV HD, C4 HD using MPEG2 so all existing V+ customers can receive them OR

Has the network to be upgraded PHYSICALLY i.e. servers etc. so that BEST case scenario ALL 30 odd channels that Sky has COULD TECHNICALLY be broadcast a la Docsis 3 for 50 Mbit broadband ?


OR agian is this a chicken-egg scenario. Virginmedia need the assurance from Sky in place BEFORE they spend the money to upgrade the network.
