How many users does sky + have? Last I heard it was something like 100000 out of 6 million sky users. If it has enough users, maybe we can persuade NTL it is viable for them to look at introducing a similar service?

I read an article, I think it was in the Guardian sometime at the beginning of last month, which said Sky now had 250,000 Sky+ subscribers and the take-up rate was increasing. They had set targets of 350,000 by June I think.
