Yes, that's true. But it wasn't ten minutes before the accountants
learned that you could cram more channels in by cutting bit rates.


ITV fell foul of that in their first attempt at going digital.
Initially aimed at selling sport to pubs with the promise of lots of
choice but the pictures were very prone to break-up and it was an
expensive flop.

Not quite sure what you mean. The OnDigital system effectively morphed
into FreeView.

I had OnDigital from the start, and didn't have problems with picture
break up. But like all digital systems it reacts differently to a poor
signal than analogue.
