What would the moaners say if the boot was on the other foot and NTL had more content on a channel than Sky had and Sky customers were moaning.
I don't know how much of the NTL network is capable of Multi screens. I suspect most of it is now..

However, I do agree with themelon: Sky should be required to seperate their channels and distribution system. They should not give preferential treatment to their own subscribers (which they would not be able to do if their distribution was a seperate company).

Maybe I am being a bit simplistic here, but I do think that if I pay money for a channel, I should get the exact same service across all distribution systems. Wether I am watching it on Cable or Satellite should be irrelevant. Subscribers to one system certainly shouldn't get this much less for the same price.
