Unfortunatly, regardless of whether ntl: have done it before or not, this cannot be done. If the BBC did this, it would mean that they are broadcasting extra channels without permission of the government.
The way that they get round this, is to provide the extra feeds through an "Interactive" service.
With regard to ntl: viewers getting Sky multiscreens, I believe it will be a while until this happens as, IMHO, sky see them as a lucrative tool for getting viewers to choose Sky over their competitiors. However, people said the same about ntl getting Sky sports Extra. So we shall just have to wait and see.
