NTL Digital sucks
 
Thats all you can say, it's just ****, thats it.

First of all I wanted to see the Olympics boxing. But the stupid interactive button hasn't been setup here in Ireland. So I miss the vast majority of fights and fighters I would have liked to see.

Now I want to see two big professional fights, Cotto-Pinto and De La Hoya-Hopkins. They don't have it.

The only remotely useful thing its given a boxing fan, is Tyson-Williams. But that's so well known I can find it on the internet easily. On the other hand, a historic matchup between DLH-Hopkins and they dont show it. Most people are sure it will go the distance so Ive got to download possibly up to 500mb. Cotto-Pinto I probably will not even find a not-slow download.

NTL, besides the extra 100 or so channels including the fantastic interesting but total bull**** EWIN and God channels has been complete ****. All it is is extra channels, no interactive and hardly any of the PPVs Sky Box Office shows. What a waste of ****ing money.

Is there something we can help with or was this just a sudden desire for a good rant ?

I think it is a prelude to ditching NTL.

But I understand where they are coming from because recently I've felt the same about NTL Digital.At present I'm only watching about 1 or 2 programmes a week excluding the news. :erm:

Sky is tacky cheap sh1te, i had it for 1 week then told murdoch and his cronies to f**k the hell off, and went back to my ntl!, far suporier in my opinion, ntl has better picture quality, better and easyer software, the remote padding came off in one day on sky, ntl dosent make telephone calls at 12pm to tell them what i have been watching!, with ntl i get free interactive, tv email and tv games, sky costs per the minite for these services, Also ntl is £48 cheaper than $ky (£4 per month), plus you also get a telephone line included with ntl digi tv witch means another £9 per month saveing on top of that!.

Strange. Usually when you sign up for something, you are signing up, knowing what you are going to get and because you want it. They offer a service, you took it; if you dont like it, take your custom elsewhere :dozey:

[sarstic]Yes, sky told me streight away when i bought it that my digibox was going to spy on me and then tell sky what i have been watching at 12pm, they also told me the remote would fall apart in 24hours and that they were going to rip me off, yep, they told me that![/sarstic]

sky offered me something that was implyed would mow my lawn, hoover my carpet and make coffie every morning, seriously though, i was trying to have a nag at sky, not defend ntl...

Funny, I find the GUI very easy to use and picture quality as good as a DVD. Strange that most people complain about NTL having a bad picture :rolleyes:
