You are perfectly entilteld to like $ky and dislike ntl..........different experiences but I know who id rather be a customer of!!
What are you on about?? ntl without $ky? the only channels $ky provides for ntl is Sky Movies, Sports, Travel. The rest of the channels are independant from any operator UK TV, ITV Granada, Viacom etc etc, Sky provides a fraction of services, which frankly I could live without if they never had existed!! Infact on the contary ntl broadcasting provides a great deal of channels for $ky BBC, ITV, CH4, CH5, UKTV+, Viacom are all routed through ntl broadcasting before the sattellite uplink! So maybe you should be thanking ntl for that!!
Also the comment on the dishes is a little ammusing, If you dont see them you obviously have your eyes shut!! The 'official' '£1' installers make a right hash of many a house, the dishes are hung on the rafters left right and centre, bolted on obtrusive poles to get a signal, rusting dishes, black cables dangling down a wall not even pinned in..............i dread to think what the inside is like, if its anything like my last experience black cable on cream walls!! mmmmmm. I do agree dishes can be hidden by quality installers, but $ky dont use quality, they use monkeys, to offer fitting for £1 and free equipment they have to cut corners somewhere! The vast majority of Installs are very shoddy indeed. I would have to recommend to anyone cosnidering $ky to use a local independant electrical retailer for fitting, they will do a better job and you will get a better service, its well worth the extra cash. Dont be fooled by bargin prices, its like buying a cheap set of spanners for £5 over a £50 set.........in a year you will replace the £5 ones but the £50 ones will still be going strong in 20 years!

Having very conveniently ignored the question about the areas where NTL is catching up (we are all waiting with baited breath) you continue to knock Sky with many points you make being more applicable to NTL than Sky.
Only Sky movies, sports and travel! That is the biggest part of what most customers want. Without the customer base that Sky provide do you think that most of the other channels would exist? Think logically about it, looking at what audience they would have without Sky.
I don't know where you get the picture of Sky installations from as I have hardly ever seen a bad Sky installation and have lived all over the UK since Sky was launched.
I like your quote about £1 installation and free equipment. That is only available on the web and is £1 dearer than what NTL are offering so what does that say about NTL using your logic?
I have had all my Sky installations done under the £1 scheme and they have all been first class and have never had a Sky digibox fail on me. The NTL install was also perfect but only after much arguing with the install crew and telephone calls to NTL whilst they were there. I must say that the NTL faults department were very quick to send out engineers to replace fauly boxes (five of them) usually arriving within 2 to 3 hours of my call.
I would like to know where you get the idea that Sky is going downhill big time from? Show us the proof!
