At the moment ntl have no public plans, at least to my knowledge for HDTV. No doubt however it's something that is being looked into for future development.
How long do you expect your TV to last? Is it worth paying out now if it's going to do you for 5-10 years and you can't use the feature for 2 years of that. However as the pace of technology advances rapidly, in our throw away society, buy non HDTV now, and buy HDTV in a few years time, when manufacturing standards will have made your still young aged TV obsolete.
Simple answer in my book. Get one, if you are likely to upgrade your DVD to watch better stuff as and when that beomces available, you might use you TV with high quality next generation games consoles or whatever where you will see the difference. Also consider whether you might swithc to SKY when they do launch HDTV if ntl don't offer it. If you aren't going to use HDTV within say 2 years, don't bother paying throuhg the nose for it now.
