I took the plunge last week and got Sky+ installed, I;ve still kept my NTL phone and broadband (never had any problems with those and changing to BT and a new ISP would be too much hassle).

Interactive Services are far superior with more options, The programme guide is far faster, doesnt hang the STB, more channels available and the ability to record 2 channnels simultaneously + watch a program previouly recorded.

Sky also broadcasts dolby digital on some channels & the stb has an optical output to carry the digital sound to a surrounbd sound system.

All in all it was a good move.

As i got a month free with sky & NTL require 30 days notice of cancellation of the tv service, you don't really run any risks of having no digital tv service, added to that Sky's customer service is far superior to NTL.
