Re: VOD arrives in Belfast...
I never understood that because Derry was 'dug up' AFTER Belfast yet they only ran with ANALogue!

Re: VOD arrives in Belfast...
Basically,the Hubsites need updating to accomidate Digital platforms & NTL at the moment does'nt have the money.Derry has only had B.B for a few months (about a year,i think).
Sure,a lot of Bangor & Newtownards is cabled & has been for about 3 years,but there are no plans to release it to sale as yet!

Derry has had BB for a lot longer than that. It had it from late 2002 onwards if memory serves me correctly (apart from 1 or 2 very small pockets)

Re: VOD arrives in Belfast...
Asked a network tech today about Derry going digital.There is a plan to run a Digital Feed up to Derry,but no date as yet.I suppose it'd have to come from the headend here in Belfast (off the Falls Rd)
I'll keep you informed if i hear anything else.

Re: VOD arrives in Belfast...
One reason Derry wouldn't have gone digital is that until about ten months ago there was no way of getting DTV through a DOCSIS STB in Langley areas - since then we can reuse the existing UBR in Derry for DTV (VOD/interactive) which removes one of the major costs. Installing the cables, fibres and TV kit is still a major task, however.
