I am not defending STM, but surely the BBC putting HD streams on iPlayer would increase the bandwidth requirements of the network, when the idea behind STM is to reduce them, so, from Virgin's point of view, it would be more logical to increase the use of STM. Especially bearing in mind that they have iPlayer available through the DTV system.
