I maybe off the mark here ( usually am
) ... but wont the final plug pull on analouge give VM far more scope to unify the network and add as much as they can fill their boots with ( assuming they can pay for it all of course ) ..
doubt its actually holding them back as such but if everyone in a cabled area was getting the exact same lineup from the same main headend then it should be easier to add stuff without some peeps being left out and complaining
as i say probably wide of the mark and clutching at straws
but i think VM's TV service has vastly improved in the last year but it still needs better PQ on some channels and a better choice of channels on all fronts.
