You don't pay for the calls and you never know they are being made. NTL also sends information back to them from your STB, just using the return path rather than the telephone line.

What kindof film are you watching at 00:10 every day?
Probably some police drama about a detective hunting down a conman who has been fleecing senior citizens.

That simply isnt true, most of the channels on sky run on ultra super low bitrates. Just look at football on ITV or horse racing on BBC1, with sky it just becomes a feild of blocks.

I can vouch for what Gareth said having had both NTL and Sky+. No problem for me on Sky with either. On the other hand NTL used to freeze and stutter quite regularly. I think you have got things the wrong way round. It's NTL that is short of bandwidth for DTV not Sky.
