I suspect that this is why they are phasing out the SD boxes so that they will no longer have to dual emit the channels broadcasting in SD and HD.

If nothing is done it is a concern as it could limit new channel additions.

FFS, it isn't looking good is it. Maybe this will end up in the courts as the Sky dispute nearly did.
I would have thought that Virgin wouldhaveto invest in more infrastructure anyway before long, to accommodate its new UHD channels. I really don't think space is an issue for that reason.

As for the UKTV dispute landing up in the courts, I don't think there is a case for that.

With the Sky dispute, it was Virgin taking Sky to court because it wanted reasonable terms to carry the channels.

This time it's UKTV who appear aggrieved, but they can't force Virgin to take their channels.
