Re: Vod
Video-On-Demand I believe, for example if you want to watch a movie you can watch it when you want at any time.

Re: Vod
Video On Demand - a system where you can select what you want to watch and it starts immediately, rather than have to wait for a slot on the current front row system.

Also it works like a VCR in that you can pause it at any time, rewind it etc. just that you only get to see it once.

yep, Yes TV formerly Elmsdale Media were running VOD in Kingston.
ntl had a trial running with them about 6 years ago, the service was very equipment hungry. There was a massive amount of equipment required in the hubsite just to service 250 trial customers.

Implementation is almost complete in Glasgow as far as I know, implementation (wiring in sites and equip installation) is currently going on in South Wales.
Apparently there are lots of problems with South Wales because the networks and hubsites have been allowed to get into a bad state, through lack of maintenance and cost saving issues.

Will VOD have to wait for all areas to be upgraded?
Is Belfast being 'done'?
questions questions

I,m not sure as I dont work for them anymore, I only know the bits and pieces that one of my old friends from the national VOD implementation project has told me.
What I get is fairly upto date, I would of taken a guess that Northern Ireland would be in a similar situation to Wales and Glasgow. The 2 guys I know involved are from Glasgow and Wales, so not too sure about Ireland. Many new implementations were started in the Celtic regions because the central guys always found us helpful in Wales, and we pulled all stops out to get the job done.
