Two Televisions, One Cable
 

I am writing a proposal for a college to place two televisions in a halls of residence. Do I need to get two NTL cables to the building, or two set-top boxes. Also, does anyone know what NTL charge for a second STB.

Hiya,

If you're talking about a common room, you may have to come under some kind of business package - but one cable and two boxes should do you - unless you want both to be on the same channel, then only one box is needed.

A 2nd box costs £15/month to residential customers, but as it's a shared room you might have some problems.

TBH you might be better off with sky - they did me a great rate when I lived in leicester uni halls.

On an extra note, DON'T put the head of the committee as the person responsible for the account. make it a staff member, or in three years whoever's stuck with the service will have a hell of a job getting anything done to it.

Sky charge £178 + VAT for a business account a month, so that's a no goer. NTL Business do not provide TV, so that too is a no goer! But thanks for the price of the extra box for including in my quote. The students would not be buying this package, I am writing the quote for the college as part of a whole internet/wireless LAN package.

If you can live with having only one 'premium' channel at a time then you could try this:
