Probably trying to reach an Annual Revenue per Subscriber of £50 a month. It will also require new equipment if its worth having it on your current TV which is likely to cost £200+. Compared to a free cable of SDTV box I know what id choose.
But I cant really see HDTV Becoming widespread for at least 10 years, yeah its great but how many TVs are gonna be compatible. It will require a new compression standard and new equipment

You make it sound like Sky are only interested in parting you from your money but NTl charge you £ 8.50 more than Sky for a DTV package with Movies and Sport. Yes you get a phoneline in with NTL, but you may not want it. It makes a mockery of NTL web pages saying you can get DTV from £10. No way can you.
When NTL eventually have things like PVR do you think they will give the boxes away for free?
As for Sky+, what are all these problems with it? I have had it for a year and it's been perfect.
