How do Sky manage to do this and what is different to the way NTL do it.
No idea on when or whether NTL may get a 7 day EPG.

Not seen this answered but am at work and skimming throught the thread.
the reason for this is (at least for the BBC) update the Sky & DTT Epg directly. ntl and TW have a 3rd part do the listings for them based on published listings. The BBC can update when there are delays etc and changes to the listings.
