The York trial is also full fibre, you aren't going to get shared dishes to 5000 premises

Whether it'll be broadband/telephony only I'm not sure, I suspect it will at least initially.

In the case of this trial using their own dedicated fibre network they could put the TV on a different wavelength from the broadband or use multicast, either way the bandwidth usage would be inconsequential.
