:welcome: to the forum.

In fairness to NTL, they have said nothing of the sort. It is ibuy who are saying that (although NTL do own their competitors).

As for Yes661, I have no idea.. Sorry.

Yes661 was like the poor relation of the shopping channels and it really showed in the quailty of the picture etc.

I just Googled it and it is still being shown on Sky

Oh and welcome to the forum :)

As much as I won't miss the demise of another shopping channel, its slightly disturbing that NTL's Digital TV line up seems to shrink over time rather than grow !

Re: Ibuy and Yes 661 no longer on Ntl

It is in fact growing because we now have Gems TV 1 and 2

I found it amusing.
I liked the fact that the yes price was so stupidly huge so the "crash" price seemed so unbelievable.

:D

Yikes, I'm all cut up about any shopping channel leaving NTL's line-up - I'll just have to find solace in the bottom of a glass now instead.

My life is no longer worth living.

Derek, there are support groups for people like you and me in this position, known as pubs. They have 'medication' varying from Stout, Bitter, Lager and Cider (fruit based drink for the ladies). Theres even stronger 'medication' in the form of 'optics', which help you to see more clearly.

Its your round.

Re: Ibuy and Yes 661 no longer on Ntl

ntl does seem to be removing a few channels as this follows the loss of The Dating Channel. Granted these are minor channels which won't be massively missed but I wodner if they will chop a more major channel at some point?

Re: Ibuy and Yes 661 no longer on Ntl

maybe they are sorting the wheat from the chaff, so they can put new (good) channels on, i doubt it, it's probably to bring ntl inline with TW but wishfull thinking...
