Many of your so called neanderthals could switch to digital but why should they if analogue gives them the channels that they want at the price that they are happy with.
Other neanderthals live in areas that cannot receive digital and won't be able to do so for quite a while. Could be two years or more. The problem is that the current number of channels and use of broadband was not envisaged when some of the early areas were cabled and they need extensive and costly work to bring them up to scratch. The other problem is that the work has to be done at times that minimise the disruption to services, mostly during the night. There is still a very large number of customers on analogue and NTL could not afford to lose them by stopping the analogue service.
