I wonder what level of penetration the DTV product needs to make money? Or does the supply of complimentary boxes mean it never will!
Deadly serious i'm afraid. Ntl make as little as 4% on DTV which mostly goes on the cost of providing the service (boxes, sending the signal etc)

Sky take most of the money, as they hold the leases on all of the channels, this is one of the reasons it tool ntl so long to gain access to sky sports Xtra as sky were after too much for it.
