One reason Derry wouldn't have gone digital is that until about ten months ago there was no way of getting DTV through a DOCSIS STB in Langley areas - since then we can reuse the existing UBR in Derry for DTV (VOD/interactive) which removes one of the major costs. Installing the cables, fibres and TV kit is still a major task, however.
