	The ONdigital project (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		ONdigital is the major digital terrestrial broadcaster in the UK whose shareholders, Carlton Communications and Granada Group both have a 50% interest.
		ONdigital was successful in obtaining three of the four multiplexes advertised by the ITC, known as multiplexes B, C, and D. Some eighteen channels are available by subscription, and nine are currently free to air from the BBC and ITVchannels 4 and 5.
		ONdigital will be most interesting to watch over the next year or so as subscriptions and transmitter roll-out to see if actual results match the forecasts that have been made.

	Ondigital to offer email via TV - WhatPC? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Ondigital customers will soon be able to send and receive email via their TV sets, through a partnership between the digital TV operator and Scottish Telecom's ISP Demon Internet.
		Ondigital's digital TV service is available now, but the company has not yet set a date or pricing structure for its email via the TV service.
		Unlike Ondigital, satellite is already available across the UK from John O'Groats to Land's End, as well as Ireland.

	CNN.com - Granada urged to close ONdigital over losses - Jun. 27, 2001
		At least four of Granada's top 20 shareholders are in favour of immediate withdrawal from ONdigital, according to a poll the FT said it conducted.
		Two fund managers said Ondigital, which delivers digital television through terrestrial TV aerials, was currently worthless, but said now was not the time to scrap it.
		The report pointed out that the closure of ONdigital would deal a severe blow to the UK government's hopes of switching all viewers to digital services between 2006 and 2010.

	Business Unlimited \| Business latest \| ONdigital numbers in dispute
		ONdigital says its annual churn rate is 15-20% but figures from GFK, a source of data for the electrical retail trade, suggest that churn in the 12 weeks to Christmas could have been well in excess of the previous periods, industry sources said.
		ONdigital staff were last night at a party thrown to cel ebrate reaching the 1m subscriber mark, toasting what chief executive Stuart Prebble described as a great British success story.
		Initiatives to meet ONdigital's targets include new interactive football coverage and a planned campaign with ITV to persuade viewers to buy interactive digital TVs when they replace their sets.

	ISP Business: ONDigital Claims One Million Customers in UK, 10 Percent Interactive (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		However, the figures for on-line access are not yet high enough to put ONdigital into the top ten ISPs in the UK, although it probably makes it a top twenty player on a par with a company such as CIX (Compulink Information eXchange) founded 16 years ago.
		On the negative side, ONdigital as a whole has a stomach-turning annual churn rate of between 15 and 20 percent, but says this is expected to settle at lower levels as the customer base becomes more mature.
		ONdigital is planning to exploit synergies between its TV and Web activities, for example by enhancing football coverage with additional, interactively accessed information.

	Digital TV News: ONdigital News
		ONdigital recently changed their policy on new subscriptions, which now allows new subscribers to sign up to channels, even if, according to the ONdigital coverage guide, they cannot receive them.
		Some people can receive the channels even if the guide says otherwise, although the signal strength ma be such that, under certain conditions, it will become too weak to receive.
		You cannot take up the free digital box offer if you are outside the reception area - if this is the case for you, you can still subscribe, but will have to pay £199.99 for your box, still saving around £200 on the price you'd pay if you didn't subscribe.
