Don't much fancy a Sky dish, but maybe it's time to start getting a complete feed, instead of whatever NTL get round to finding the time and capacity for.
Any launches most definitely do not follow as a matter of course.
I suppose one advantage of NTL, is no ugly dish, and no weather related problems with it - basic problem is that NTL are NOT an alternative to Sky, they are just a second-tier carrier of Sky programmes - the only good channel of their own, "The Studio", was killed a long time ago.

Looking out of my window the view is not spoilt by Sky dishes but by Freeview aerials. They are far more obtrusive. Even a standard Sky dish if sited reasonably well is not too obtrusive and goes virtually unseen if alternative dishes including clear and colours are used. Sky, if installed properly, hardly suffers any weather related problems.
New channels nearly always appear on Sky. Just think about ITV3 which many cable fans were laughingly talking about not being available on Sky but how did the reality pan out? Cable unfortunately has to wait a considerable length of time for some channels after they have appeared on Sky.
