I doubt they ever will if the government still plan to switch off the analogue system in 2010.
BTW, has this date changed?

Anyone with taste knows HBO, they produce some of the best shows around. I love Oz and The Sopranos. You know the show is quality when you see the HBO Logo at the start. It would be a most welcome addition to the channel line up, but I'm not sure if american broadcast channels can be shown here??
I don't think any others are?? There would be a conflict surely, as the programs would be shown at the same time as in america so the uk channels would miss out.

That's analogue terrestrial, doesn't apply to ntl analogue.
I think the analogue platform is pretty much full up, so unless they remove some more channels then I don't think you can fit any new channels on. Although I don't think they added much after removing Front Row, just ITV News and Premier Plus, so that leaves three channels spare which maybe occupied by the BBC 3 and 4 channels if ntl have their way?

my wish is to get everyone onto digital, so they can then close off some analogue signals and replace them with the same channels, but in a digital signal (if I'm right in thinking will allow for more space for extra channels?)
But, I doubt it'll happen because of the cost implications?

Re: 2004 channel wish list
Not the cost implications, merely the fact that there are areas that still ONLY have analogue cable. So if you moved everyone to digital you'd loose those customers.

I was going to say something similar, its the cost of upgrading the network infrastructure in parts to enable it to carry digital cable.
