If it was not for Broadband technology then we would not have DTV, basically a by product is how our trainers put it.
[/quote]It was the development of "broadband" cable, capable of supporting a 750MHz+ bandwidth and served by a fibre-optic backbone that took cable TV forward in the mid-nineties. By then, consolidation was the key, with the first major acquisition being the American company International CableTel purchasing Insight Communications along with franchise-holders in South Wales and other regions. 1994 was a big build year for the industry, as it sought to cover as many homes as possible in order to rival satellite provider Sky.[/quote]

Spell that with a small 'b' and I would agree.
But I wasn't talking about digital TV.

I was actually told by the engineer, that there are two, cables that come into my house, and they are attached to each other, one for TV and one for the phone and BB, was l being wound up. And it can carry 1000 channels, apart from radio channels.

Slightly wrong, the is a siamese twin cable coming into your property, one side is for broadband with digital television piggybacked on to it, the other smaller cable is for your phoneline.
