Sure, you get the HDTV STB box free, but then (if Telewest are anything to go by), you're talking £10 to £15 to rent the box per month, PLUS whatever Sky are going to charge for their HD channels package - assuming they actually allow NTL Telewest to have that package.

For Sky customers, that HD package is £10 per month.

So, that's at least £20 to £25 extra on my bill per month, to watch HDTV on NTL??
I doubt very much that NTL/Telewest will charge more than Sky for the HDTV service, i.e. that £10 charge will be included in the box rental charge.

Edit: I just noticed that Sky are charging £300 for the STB on top of the £10 per month, so NTL probably will charge extra per month than Sky but that has to be compared against the up-front £330 cost:
