We still have pockets of analogue only areas, but these are being "over-built" with digital equipment, for example exTelewest West London and part of Ex-NTL Southampton. Derry in N.Ireland was converted earlier this year. areas were we are unable to upgrade due to planning laws, such as westminster are being abandoned.
