Slow start in view for digital television
The Guardian
Wed, Mar 25 1998

FLEXTECH, which provides basic programming for UK pay-TV operators, yesterday tempered news of its first small profit with a warning that the birth of digital television would be a slow one.

The company - whose largest shareholder is the US cable giant Tele-Communications Inc - is to launch its digital TV services later this year. Chairman Adam Singer said, however, that the transition from analogue would be tougher than people anticipated.

Services would not explode until a date for the switch off of analogue had been set by the Government. This year and next there would be "virtually no digital subscribers" and Flextech would be dependent on analogue revenues for some time to come.
