To be fair to ntl it was sky blocking the access to extra as they saw it as a unique selling point.
Trouble with ntl is they have the technical superiority. They have a closed network for getting the media to the customer. They have a return path to scare sky but they lack the vision and cash to realise their potential.
If things had stayed analogue longer the ntl system would have won over sky given the time as it provided a better picture and was cheaper. Sky took a bold decsion and changed to digital and this is why they now have the upper hand.
Had ntl jumped to digital throughout as well we would now maybe have a much more mature offering from ntl.
