You're right-I was just trying to make a point that 'TheMelon' was really comparing apples to oranges.

Hardly worth the aggro now, let alone in 2 years time!

Sky have no control over what ntl/TW bundle as TV packages AFAIK m8-all that happens is that ntl/TW pay a figure for each channel they broadcast (ok so I simplified it a bit, but you get what I mean!)

What happens after that is down to ntl/TW.
