(e.g. Like the News 24 News Screens on the NTL side which aren't available - it's not that the BBC wont provide them)
If that is the case ( I dont know I'm not that technical minded of DTV but sounds reasonable) I suspect that is another reason for the problems with pricing. Why pay extra for services you wont be able to use. Sky, to their credit, thats quite a good ploy! Its like selling the iraqis missiles and keeping the destruct codes to yourself!
