I've never really understood why ntl use their own off the air slide captions, why not just get rid of them completely? some channels show promo's when there off air, and without sounding like a complete geek, surely it would be nicer to see a channel logo and a bit of looped music than it would be to see a black screen saying channel not broadcasting?

Or am I missing a major point somewhere?
