For all new VM FTTP (and I mean XGSPON not RFoG) only TV via a stream box will be supported.

As VM turns off it's HFC Network and converts to XGSPON, the ability to receive broadcast will disappear.

Timescales are sketchy but within 10 years.

I can't speak for Sky, but they are on the same pathway.

It's the way the industry is going.
Thank you, Pierre. They know this, but they have to play out this silly game every time the subject is mentioned.

I think I’ll pursue this elsewhere in future, where people can have a sensible conversation without having to tolerate wind-up merchants.

Broadcast TV received through the aerial from your local transmitter.
