Would they want to replace my sacm with a feed from the tv digibox?

From your location - Nottinghamshire, you would probably be covered by the Nottingham area which has its feed from the Langley platform. AFAIK customers receiving Langley have SACM. It is Bromley platform which uses the cable modem in the STB for broadband.

They are two different platforms that arose from the merger between NTL (Langley) and Cable & Wireless Communications (Bromley) in 1999. Eventually when the renumbering goes ahead - end of this year? (as mentioned earlier in the thread), both platforms will have the same channel numbers. NTL is in the process of standardising its Digital TV on the Bromley platform.
I believe the Bromley platform is more technically advanced than the Langley platform.
