This is good news - I'm subscribed to the base pack because I can't install an old analogue aerial on the roof ...stoopid Swindon council!
However I have been disgusted by the pitiful amount of channels available since I've been using it. If it wasn't for being tied to ntl until the end of the contract's minimum period, I'd have already jumped ship to Sky. At least this makes the £8.50 p/month a bit easier to swallow.
