To me one of the areas ntl are lagging behind Sky is the ability of devices such as the more modern VCRs to diectly control the channel that the STB is tuned to for recording. Why shoud you need to set two different devices to swap and record channels.

Ntl's three day EPG is, in this day and age, absolutely pants. when 10 years ago VCRs could be programmed up to28 days in advance.

I dunno exactly how Sky compares, but I frequently see specifications of devices that say they will directly control the Sky box channel.
