waiting for SKY (renumbering late November I think) would be logical, and I am sure all stations would prefer to have the same number accross NTL, Telewest & Sky (freeview the exception).

Only problem would be who 'owns' the numbers - i.e. if Sky decided to change their numbers, would NTl have to follow.

Now, if we were talking really 'user friendly' - SKY/NTL would agree to set up some form of commitee, which would regulate the changes, and approve any alterations. That would keep everything fair for both parties, and avoid Sky trying to dictate numbering policy to NTL
