I'm with the Majority and believeing SamB on this one. I would be interested to know what your sources are though Robert Boy.

Sam has been a reliable source of Information right back from the NTHW.com days, so i see no reason the believe anyone else at this time.

Isn't that quite a lot for a country the size of ROI?

That is an old advert that has been running for a few weeks now, so I wouldn't take "sky subscribers only" as being gospel, if it were to come to cable, then I would assume that a new advert would be created in time.

OK, so Sam B (who is usually correct and AFAIK is actually in a position to know herself without hearing from other people) is wrong, but you cannot name your source?

Why does original areas have 316 streams compared with only 289 in ex-cwc?

Re: the next new channels to come on ntl???
 
very odd, not sure why.
but,
Do langley areas still have the seperate front row + PPV channels? or have they gone now?
if they are still there, then that may explain why.
if no, then......(someone help here) :D

The UK has something like 40 ntl digital headends. Then theres the Telewest ones.
So no. ;)

Just checked and here in Andover, the info screens report:

Channels 307, TS Streams 27, Total Services 307. Do these vary with which packages you are subscribed to?

By the way, Interactive seems to be poorly tonight. BBC bridges display perfectly, but all the walled garden content from them, pressing Interactive and help all give a M044 error, and C4 red button just gives a two line apology for lack of service, which is better that the two line list of games ;)

The number will change from day to day. Doesn't mean theres any new channels.

I'll guarantee it hasn't.

It can change day to day on Langley, and different areas have different numbers (Belfast for example has RTE and Network2 which aren't available everywhere).
