    why do you need to have sky and ntl ? im sure u would need the 2 connections as one would be cable (ntl) and the other would be coming from the sky dish...

    Yes, though you'll need to have either SCART pass-through on one of the STBs, or a TV/VCR with more than one SCART input. Now my Pace Di4010 does have SCART pass through, but not sure if the newer (smaller) boxes do. I don't think Sky boxes have SCART pass through however if any Sky customers here wish to correct me on that one I'm open to it...
    also, if i get ntl digital inone room do i still have analogue basic channels at the other points in the house.:)

    Yes, analogue remains available on all points (until analogue switch off arrives...). NTL previously marketed this as "Multi-Room Viewing"/

    You can use both Feeds in 1tv as long as the TV has the scart ports to support them...So in other words 1 goes into Scart 1 and the other goes into Scart 2...Then you just switch channels to switch between them...NTL does allow other points around the house which is also a good advantage...

    Get the dish setup correctly unless you have gale force winds everytime it is windy.
