Possibly also upgrade Front Row to DD, as I believe NTL is a part owner of this channel..

I don't really think that you could charge extra for this function, as I doubt many people would take it up. However if it were part of an all round superior STB (like the functions of the Sky+ box for example) then it might have a valid business case, but I doubt their market is big enough to warrant it. Bear in mind the take-up of Sky+ has been quite low, but it is a chicken and egg situation. They're expensive boxes so they cost a lot to buy, but becuase they cost a lot to buy not many people buy them - so they price never drops.
