Aye, but while the STBs conform to DVB-C specification, if they were to suddenly push H.264 through them, not only are the STBs not powerful enough to decode it, it also breaks DVB compatibility since no European cable standard has it defined at the moment.

Like I said, migration to H.264 across the board requires an upgrade of *all* STBs (easily a few million out there), but they could at least have the HD channels broadcast to the V+ STBs in H.264 and replace the V+s.
