Digital TV Base Pack
 
Hot from our sources :angel:

ntl Digital TV Base Pack is about to get even better with the addition of E4!

From 1st March 2004, E4 (channel no. 144) and E4+1 (channel no. 145) will be available in the Base Pack for ntl:home Digital TV customers.
This is a great news message for our Base Pack customers as E4 premiers popular series including Friends, ER, The West Wing, Six Feet Under and Sex and the City, live coverage of reality shows like Big Brother and The Salon plus popular series like Dawsonââ‚Ãâ €šÂ¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s Creek and Smallville.

There will be no extra charge to Base Pack customers for this exciting addition to their service.

That is good news - I'm downgrading to the base pack soon anyway.

Nice one :)

- I guess ntl's thinking on this is that with E4 available on all analogue packs, they are now more likely to upgrade to digital.

I guess it's also possible that, with Freeview getting more and more popular and NTL's Base Pack offering so little over and above what you can now get for nowt, they're starting to realise they need to do a little better.

The missus'll be delighted, she loves E4.

And E4 isn't in the basic sky package either.

If there is a price increase it won't be because they have given you E4 in the base pack, they would of increased the price anyway :)

I don't think there will be one now - they have normally informed us by now about the usual May price increases :)

E4 has been in analogue base pack since it launched on analogue - I have a feeling it's due to top-up tv which is similarly priced to the digtal base pack. A bit of healthy competition can only be a good thing :)

base pack now better value for digital customers
base pack now worser value for analogue customers
