Re: Channel ReShuffle
 

I came home from work today to find my channels done (im in Brighton). Why havn't NTL let anyone know about this? They are quick enough to send me a letter each month asking me to sign up to broadband, even though I have it!

Re: Channel ReShuffle
 

Erm, I got a letter from them with the new channel guide as well. Changes happened ages ago up here.

Re: Channel ReShuffle
 

I got the letter a few days ago and they changed the in the early hours of this morning

Re: Channel ReShuffle
 

My parents are a couple of miles away in Brighton, and they've received nothing either.

Re: Channel ReShuffle
 

Brighton is Bromley...Bromley changed this morning, Langley areas were earlier in the month.

I got my letter a couple of days agao...perfectly timed, and the system is now MUCH better than it was frankly. Of course it will take a bit of getting used to, but is much better this way.

Re: Channel ReShuffle
 

Stupid question (probably been asked millions of times), but how do you know what area's are "Bromley" and what are "Langley"?

Re: Channel ReShuffle
 

Well it used to be if you have BBC One on channel 1 then you were Bromley - but that isn't going to work anymore lol :D

Re: Channel ReShuffle
 

If BBC1 *used* to be on Channel 1, then you are Bromley. If BBC1 *used* to be on 101, then you are Langley.

However it's on 101 for everyone now.

Re: Channel ReShuffle
 

With you now. When I first got TV with ntl it was analogue and BBC1 was on channel 1. Then later on I moved to digital and BBC1 was 101.

Re: Channel ReShuffle
 

In that case...you are Langley. Analogue numbering was different, it's digital that will clarify it.

Bromley - BBC1 was always on channel 1
Langley - BBC1 was always on channel 101

Now, everyone is 101.

Re: Channel ReShuffle
 

Bring back channel 1 for BBC1, etc - much less effort when changing channels ;)

Rob C FTW!!!

Re: Channel ReShuffle
 

Had exactly the same problem. The only way of tuning to these channels was by pressing ok when looking at the listings in the mini guide. The box wouldn't tune by typing in the channel numbers, or via the full screen guide.

Rebooting solved the issue.

Re: Channel ReShuffle
 

Given that NTL no longer use any numbers below 100, I don't see why they couldn't have kept the traditional 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 for BBC1, BBC2, ITV, C4, and C5.

Aren't Channel 4 going to get a bit peeved, because they are no longer "Channel 4" - are they going to rebrand themselves as "Channel 104"..?

And in a few months time, viewers will be saying "Five what..?" because "Five" is no longer "Channel 5", it's "105".

Now that I've had time to consider the changes (given that I received the notification of the changes through the post some hours AFTER the channels had changed), I can understand the logic in having similar channels in similar "blocks". Such as normal channels being 101-199, and all the movie channels in the same block, etc. However, it's funny that the block of 100 numbers assigned to the children's channels also includes the shopping channels and quiz channels. How ridiculous is that? While switching between Fireman Sam and Bagpuss, the kiddies will be enticed to 'phone premium rate "quiz" numbers. :Yikes:
