Adopting Sky's numbering system would be a nice plus to attracting customers from Sky to NTL. However, it would only take Sky to renumber their channels to put it all out again. I think putting them into groups of numbers would be good which I think was the original plan (I could be wrong)... just the mistake they made was the groups weren't big enough.
1-100 : normal entertainment channels like BBC, ITV and the variants (ITV2, BBC3 etc) and other similar channels.
101-200 : Childrens channels
201-300 : Music
301-400 : Movies
401-500 : Sports
501-600 : News
601-700 : Foreign channels
701-800 : any channels that do not fall into the categories above
801-900 : Radio channels
901-999 : "premium" type channels etc.
or something like that.
