I was wondering what VM will do. Will they send down the equivilent
digital signal. Will they have to replace all of those set-top-boxes
with ones that can take a digital signal?

surely VM supply a digital signal.

All of my current TV's are non-digital and they are connected to the
cable and receive the standard channels. Maybe they also send a
digital signal but I would have thought that my new TV with its
digital (Freeview) receiver would have picked them up.

It will be interesting to see if digital TVs continue to be sold with
analogue tuners. As you have found out analogue will still
be useful for distributing RF from set top boxes, CCTV etc.
