higher quality if you please.

Sorry but I haven't got a higher quality clip available. I don't actually think I have this clip anymore.

Actually, this is the old UK cable service (hence the Rediffusion name and star logo)

[sslaxx]

Very much like the Activision logo, especially in terms of the 'V'.

i remember this very well with cablevision in my area of Reading... I remember my parents paid £12 per month for this service. it was rubbish

@chaosreturnsforgood76 Cablevision also seems to be an existing cable operator over in the US and/or Canada that other posters seems to be confusing with this. Whether they're actually related somehow I don't know (Rediffusion was a British company that had operations across the ex-Empire/Commonwealth... places like Canada ...So Yeah)

@GeoNeilUK Rediffusion used to be an ITV London Weekday contractor from 1955-1968 before Rediffusion CableVision was launched in 1984

Rediffusion Cablevision was a subscription cable TV service from 1984 owned by Associated Rediffusion Limited and the ident was from 1985
