No, I was suggesting that Sky were unwilling to pay the going rate for the space, rather than NTL not having the space available.

I beleive that NTL actually have a number of reserved "e-TV channels" hidden from view that are available for any broadcaster who's willing to pay for them. So far only the BBC have done so. Based on the e-TV content we've had so far, there are at least 6 of these available. There's no reason to think that NTL couldn't add more if the need was there. They're not full yet.

And themelon: the Front Row VOD service will use the space currently occupied by the NVOD streams. No bandwidth will be saved, at least initially.
