Initially launched in January 2005 in Glasgow , NTL On Demand offers a selection films, TV shows, children's programmes and music videos available to view on-demand.
Users have the option to pause, fast-forward and rewind the shows as desired.
The service has since been rolled out to other parts of the UK. It launched in Surrey and Hampshire today, and NTL claims that 400,000 customers have now signed up to use the service.
The deal with the three broadcasters will see a new comedy, drama and factual programme library, called TV Hits, made available to viewers. Content will include TV series including 'Cracker' and 'Father Ted'.
