One thing that doesn't appear to have been considered is whether the Sky Sports streams that Sky uses can be run on NTL. Presumably the streams contain instructions for the Sky digibox to take advantage of them which may render them unusable with NTLs software. If that is the case then would it be Sky or NTL that would have to modify the streams (if this is possible) to be able to make them available via NTL. Who would bear the cost of this if it is possible?
