Not the world's first digital terrestrial television network[edit]

Advent Television in Singapore was the first licensed commercial DVB-T network, broadcasting from February 1998. ONdigital didn't broadcast until November 1998. https://www.imda.gov.sg/-/media/imda/files/inner/archive/policies-and-regulation/policies_and_regulation_level3/fixed-wireless-broadband/response_-_dataone_limited.pdf — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.196.168.74 (talk) 22:30, 21 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

YouTube Link...[edit]

The link is dead. Please don't re-add it. ---J.S (t|c) 06:34, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sanatised Channel list?...[edit]

ITV Digital broadcast Televsion X and other Adult PPV channels, and these are ommited from the list? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Zonknz (talk • contribs) 21:07, 13 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

For ONdigital, it was some 27 channels at launch, and by the time rebranding happened, it was around 52, including adult content. Note: I barely remember those days but I did work on the launch and subsequently content for the network.

Damages Amount Incorrect?[edit]

Did they really only get £4 in damages? I'd have thought it must be £4m in damages. Can someone clear this up?

It really was only £4. Check the link to the BBC news report from 2006. -- Arwel (talk) 00:07, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Probably too much. Claverhouse (talk) 03:37, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Set Top Boxes were originally bought outright, also ONd paid for aerial upgrades[edit]

The article fails to mention that ONdigital STBs were originally bought outright from electrical stores such as Currys - mine, for instance, was a Philips DTX6370 which cost, at the time of buying, some £200. However retailers generally would not supply an STB to people whose postcode was not listed as having ONdigital coverage.

Very shortly after I bought my STB (in April/May 1999 as far as I remember), and apparently in response to Sky's "free" DigiBox offer, ONdigital started their "loan" scheme. Those, like me, who bought their boxes outright as early adopters, were exempt from the (ultimately failed) attempt to reclaim STBs as the boxes were our property, not that of ITV Digital's administrators.

The article also omits the ONdigital aerial subsidy - people living in areas supposedly with full ONd coverage who were experiencing reception problems could apply for a replacement TV aerial for a flat fee (including a high gain aerial, cables and installation by an ONd-selected contractor) of £50. This improved reception considerably, but must have cost ONdigital a packet! Tonywalton ^Talk 11:32, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

After Digital Switch Over (DSO) ONDigital Boxes no longer work.[edit]

As the original sotware can only cope with "2K" modulation, and at DSO the transmiiters are switched to 8K non of the OnDigital branded boxes work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.1.82 (talk) 17:31, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it's also a matter of the hardware inside the boxes too, rather than just the software. Have added a note to the relevant section. Bonusballs (talk) 20:57, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Picture format[edit]

What picture formats were offered on ITV Digital? I assume SD 576i only? John a s (talk) 11:53, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. What were you expecting? 83.104.249.240 (talk) 15:23, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
