Any cable hookup point has a FM hook on it (well all my three do). I've always wondered about this one as you are connecting non NTL equipment into their cable, a nono according to T&C.

Re Digital - you would need an additional STB to feed the digital into the audio system, wheras at the moment you can listen to the FM on your stereo in room A and watch TV in room B while there are a lot of digital radio channels in the 800's? I can't listen to that on anything but my TV or without paying £15 a month for a second STB to plug into the HiFi.
I could also buy outright a DAB reciever, however i "may" recieve (variable coverage)
Capital
Virgin
Classic
Talk Sport etc, which would be a far poorer proposition than the current FM broadcast or cablecast service.
