[Merged] Sky Two/Three on NTL?
 

Is Sky Two available on NTL ?

Re: Sky Two
 

Yes it is, as it is the new name for Sky mix.

Re: Sky Two
 

yep - its just sky mix renamed, so if you had that, you should have sky two.

its channel 930 on langley I think.

Re: Sky Two
 

930 on Bromley

Re: Sky Two
 

I thought Bromley channel numbers were sequentially numbered from 1 up ... surprised they go as high as 930?

Re: Sky Two
 

They appear to go as high as 999 - there isnothing sequential about it. Ntl seem to have just thrown whatever they want where they want, Radio in th midst of a range of TV, no rhyme or reason as to numbers i.e. no grouping of shopping channels and similar tastes. It could have been done so much better. Now we see ITV4 launched on Channel 15, yet ITV2 is Channel 6, and ITV3 is channel 8. It's just sooooo confusing.

Re: Sky Two
 

they go as high as 950 (sky sports extra)

They tend to be sequential at the start of a 100 group for about 19-20 and then they stop. I assumed it was because once the NTL Eng has taken his shoes and socks off to count he's not going to get past 20 :D

But you can sort them into your own desired sequence which is a hassle i know. Its now actually worth doing as the firmware doesnt appear to randomise them when your not looking them any more

Re: Sky Two
 

but sorting the channels into favorates doesnt sort out the silly numbering and thus is only usfull if you are a prog +- kind of person rather than a keying in a number

Re: Sky Two
 

does it matter that you key in 15 rather than 6?? I would have thought the sequence was more important if your a +- kind of person

Re: Sky Two
 

I think the question should be

Where is $ky 3?

Re: Sky Two
 

That the one with 24/7 Star Trek? :angel:

Re: Sky Two
 

Chance would be a fine thing ... better than 24/7 Simpsons, anyway. :erm: :D

Re: Sky Two
 

I thought Sky3 was on NTL - I have not tried to watch it, mind!

Re: Sky Two
 

Not as far as I know, I can't find a channel number for it.

Re: Sky Two
 

Sky Three is not currently available via ntl.

Re: Sky Two
 

Thanks - do you know when it is coming?

Re: Sky Two
 

Sooner the better

Re: Sky Two
 

I don't, sorry.

Re: Sky Three on NTL- When?

Merging with another thread asking similar questions ...

Thanks! :)

Re: [Merged] Sky Two/Three on NTL?
 

"Coming Soon"


...deja vu.

Re: [Merged] Sky Two/Three on NTL?
 

I see 24 starts on Sky 3 this Saturday :(

Re: [Merged] Sky Two/Three on NTL?
 

I'm not sure NTL is getting Sky 3 in the forseeable - it's being pimped as a "Introduction to pay TV", hence the reason freeview get it...

Re: [Merged] Sky Two/Three on NTL?
 

But you also get it on satellite pay TV.

Re: [Merged] Sky Two/Three on NTL?
 

Yes, because specifically it's an introduction to $ky - it hardly costs them anything to stick it on their network, so why not? It just means they're less likely to persue sticking it on NTL.

Re: [Merged] Sky Two/Three on NTL?
 

They will want to get the channel on NTL if for no other reason than because the amount you can sell your advertising space for depends on the size of your audience. It's not in their interests to deny the channel to NTL. I expect there is some backroom horse-trading going on over what NTL want to charge them for carriage. I would be very surprised if it's not there within about 6 months.

Re: [Merged] Sky Two/Three on NTL?
 

Sky obviously think differently, as that's exactly what they're doing.

Re: [Merged] Sky Two/Three on NTL?
 

Do you know that this is the permanent position adopted by $ky as opposed to a negotiating position?

Re: [Merged] Sky Two/Three on NTL?
 

Do we know that it is not NTL that are not bothering to add the channel?

Re: [Merged] Sky Two/Three on NTL?
 

I don't know, I'm afraid, as it's not my area.

Re: [Merged] Sky Two/Three on NTL?
 

From what I've heard, this is not the case.
