Surely the analogue STB (which was mono) didn't make use of the stereo audio?
I recall the customer was told if he wanted to listen to the film audio in stereo, he tuned his home hi-fi into the relevant channel? Certainly, there are 4 stereo feeds of the Sky movie channels still transmitting, but I'm just waiting the next NTL uninformed opinion that it has to go 'because of the digital switchover' which of course is nonsense. (1) Because radio isn't affected & (2) There's nothing to stop NTL transmitting a digital re-encoded channel to analogue to allow those users with non integrated TV's to still retain the choice of looking at the existing terrestrial channels AFTER the digital 'switchover'.
It could be a massive selling point for the newly enlarged NTL. 'Digital switchover? Stay with us and keep your existing TV!'.
