With Sky's announcement today that they intend to go down the path of HDTV at some point in the future, can I just please say to the higher ups at NTL (and any future boss of a merged cable company)
HAVE HDTV READY TO GO WHEN SKY HAVE IT READY TO GO!!!
With at least 2 years knowledge that its gonna happen, can NTL please not try and blow it again.
Have Pace or Samsung ready with the boxes and Liberate ready to go with there software(preferably with a built in PVR

)
My money will be there for you, just as it will be for VOD and a PVR (if NTL decides they want to do it as well as VOD)
Of course NTL could decide to merge with Telewest and then spend the next 5 years trying to merge the CS and television software. Oh and of course they will get themselves badly into debt and need to restructure again!
