Freeview don't have to maintain a cable network that, in places, is in a sh*t condition.
They also don't have a network that uses various different technologies and platforms for DTV.
NTL are trying to bring Enhanced TV (I hate the term Interactive, as I don't think even Sky offer truly interactive TV) to all their users, but before they do that, they need to change the network so that all areas are operating with at least compatible software (even if it isn't the same software).
All the NTL interactive stuff is based on a product called Liberate.
They need to use at least Liberate 1.2 for the multi-screen stuff to work, and CR3 is the only software they have that is based on Liberate 1.2. The original NTL software (and CR1 and CR2) are based on an older version of Liberate.
