In 2002, NTL put in a request to Ofcom to carry the BBC's digital channels on analogue. I don't think that, in the end, anything came of it.

I still think it would be a good idea for them to carry all the Freeview channels in unencrypted analogue on the cable. Then, with a digital STB with a pass-thru and tvlink-style remote control NTL would have an unbeatable home entertainment service.
