Sky and ntl are definately not in different leagues! There are only about 10 channels on Sky which are not on ntl that are any good. On the interactive side of things, the only decent stuff is BBCi (ntl will be getting this after LCR3 in June I think) and Sky News and Sports Active (ntl are in talks with Sky to get this) all the rest of Sky's interactive is crap and is there simply to try and con you out of more money, with Sky, if you even think about pressing the red button they charge you! I much prefer the layout of ntl than to Sky's EPG, and think that when/if ntl do get these few interactive applications and a few extra channels then they will be able to really compete against Sky! And Video on Demand will make ntl move into a different league to Sky!
