:welcome: to the forum.

In fairness to NTL, they have said nothing of the sort. It is ibuy who are saying that (although NTL do own their competitors).

As for Yes661, I have no idea.. Sorry.

Re: Ibuy and Yes 661 no longer on Ntl

Yes661 was like the poor relation of the shopping channels and it really showed in the quailty of the picture etc.

I just Googled it and it is still being shown on Sky

Oh and welcome to the forum :)

Re: Ibuy and Yes 661 no longer on Ntl

Being re-branded as a price-crash channel by what I saw on Google.

Re: Ibuy and Yes 661 no longer on Ntl

As much as I won't miss the demise of another shopping channel, its slightly disturbing that NTL's Digital TV line up seems to shrink over time rather than grow !

Re: Ibuy and Yes 661 no longer on Ntl

It is in fact growing because we now have Gems TV 1 and 2

Re: Ibuy and Yes 661 no longer on Ntl

Oh well - thats ok then ;)

As opposed to those other, high-quality shopping channels that are well worth watching? ;)

I found it amusing.
I liked the fact that the yes price was so stupidly huge so the "crash" price seemed so unbelievable.

:D
