European Channels
 

I have read recently that euro channels sre free to air for cable co.s

If that is true when will we get them like we did on analogue service from C+W and Videotron

I believe that the Spanish Channel TVE is going digital in july 03

Is this true? Can we get Euro channels for free? If so, HOW? do we need to ask for them to be added, like we used to have to do with BBC Parliament?
:confused:

Are there any French ones?

TV5 (TV CINQ)

Is available on ntl digital for something like a £1 a month. Its the french version of BBC world and features various french programming.

TV5 is in the family pack on Digital.

Thanks for correcting me

TV 5 is now free. I'd say better than BBC World. It offers the best from France 2, & 3.

:wavey:

TV5 shows some really good films too.

They are free if Ntl wish to carry them which they dont according to London Customer management

Hi..TV5 doesnt show anywhere on my progs list..how to get pse??

Family Pack 210

Check with CS.


:wavey:

I'm amazed! You got an answer from London Customer Management? Don't believe it!
But... if for some strange reason you did get an answer, what did they say exactly? I cannot understand it if they are free to ntl: and they will not carry them. Any reasons from those of you in the know?
:confused:

Hi Gogogo...Thanks for that..Will fone CS when I have a couple of hours to spare..Tho if free shouldn`t it be in all packs...asks he hopefully??

They aren't free, ntl still have to recieve the channels, they need to multplex them, scramble them, distribute to 45 or so headends and then modulate them from each headend. Who should pay for that ?

I thought we pay for the channels to be carried with our monthly subscription charges.
