They are really among the premier channels. Sky don't own the other big channels on pay tv from itv, BBC and Viacom. So apart from the Sky branded channels and maybe a couple of horse**** shopping channels theres not much to shout about is there?

It's all about offering a superior service & Sky's is superior to ntl's-in much the same way as ntl's phone 'service' is inferior to BT's in almost every way imaginable.

Thats all subjective to what you belive constitutes superiority.
In your case Neil, that is as many channels of crap (I mean its hard enough on ntl to find something decent to watch half the time) as can be put on the platform and broadcasting comparable channels at a lower bitrate then ntl.
Yeah, so red button may be fully functional / faster, but as for that, I couldn't really care.
