i think you're refering to digital tv...

yeah, i've been wondering the same. the last offical "free-to-air" ntl did was in december with MTV. since then the free-to-air section on ntlworld can no longer be accessed - implying that there will be no more FTAs. which is a shame. :(

although, we did have Racing UK as a FTA over the past fortnight (has ended now) - but there was no mention on any ntl websites - as per usual with ntl's brilliant communication skills :rolleyes:

:)

Yep, Digital.. Anyone in NTL land know?
They used to advertise these on the website:
http://www.ntlworld.com/channels/tv/freetoair.php
But, as bigitup j says that was december..

Aren't those free to air periods dictated by the channels themselves and not NTL? If none of them are offering FTA then there is nothing to put on the website.

Yeah, but don't point that out - what would some people do all day if they couldn't blame ntl for lifes failings?

[pedancy on]

Do they mean FTA? Isn't it really FTV?

A subtle but important difference.

I was under the impression that some of these freeviews were exclusive to NTL (obviosuly this doesn't apply to the Disney Channel/FilmFour etc.) such as Boomerang which seemed to spend more time as a freeview than an actual Family Pack channel :)
