Re: NTL should switch to a digital only service!

There is a couple of points I wish to make after reading all the posts, so hear goes. They are in no paticular order (much like my thought patterns!)

1, The turning off of Terrestrial Analogue has no bearing on ntl. We could, and do recieve Digital broadcasts, and re-broadcast them as Analogue.
2, There is going to be a change in the programs on Analogue, so as to make room for VOD.
3, As was said by ianathuth, the areas that are not able to get the Digital service at the mo, will be waiting a long time, all the money and resorces are being flushed down the drain, sorry, spent in London (The ex-Videotron areas are a shambles)
4, browneggsandham said "Don't forget that until the analogue service is turned off nationwide, no bandwidth will be saved by turning off some areas". Well that isn't strictly true!, But it would cause NTL a marketing headache because differant services could/would be available in areas


My questions are......

1, Why don't NTL either up the price of Ano, or drop the price of digital so there isn't a price differance.
2, Why don't NTL force the issue in franchises that are completely Digitaly ready?. They have in Kent, (Ashford/Dover/Folkston) why not insitagate a program accross the country?

Enough from me...sorry if my post is hard to follow
