I don't rate Sky One, so that basically just leaves BBC HD and Sky Movies/Sports (Discovery HD if they actually showed stuff like Mythbusters in HD which they don't). Oh, no it doesn't, BBC HD will be broadcast free over satellite anyway so that just leaves Sky Movies/Sports.

All in all it, three or four good channels leaves itself as a very niche product at a price most will not shell out for. Yes, ntl are losing out on the status of being able to say the broadcast HD to its customers but really, in terms of the quality and content of what is available, who cares?

Have ntl ever cared about quality?
