Sky Interactive & Euro 2004 Interactive (NTL)
 
Hi, I have two questions.

Does anybody know if;

1) Any sky interactive is coming soon (news/sport/movies, etc)

2) If NTL will provide interactive content (highlights, radio commentary etc) on euro 2004 matches.

1) In the small print of NTL's last channel contract with Sky was a statement to the effect that either Sky starts developing red button services on NTL, or stops advertising them on the versions of the channels NTL receives. That doesn't mean Sky Active *is* coming, just that it could be. I think it will be a long, long time before we have the exact same service as Sky Digital -- they'd surely want to keep some "carrot" for their own service. That said, however, Microsoft Office on the Mac is just as good as the Windows version...

2) If the BBC are providing it, then 100% certainly in ex-CWC areas. And I'd say 95% sure for Langley...

1) Apparently ntl do have a deal with Sky to produce such content (do a search to find out more) but there is no concrete infromation as of yet.

2) I would think so, as the LCR3 rollout should be complete by then. But again, no official announcments as of yet.

Well the only date not to be announced is Kirklees but that is meant to be anouced this week or next week. After that we should have BBC etv in timefor euro 2004.
