So-approx 10 more channels with ntl, & obviously your phone line too.
If you take away the phone line (12 x £9.50=à ƒÆ’ƒâ€šÃ‚£114.00) from the yearly charge of £238.00 , you are left paying £124.00 per year for approx 10 more channels.
That is approx £74.00 more
in the first year alone! 
Over 2 years, you would have spent £50.00 on Freeview, & £248.00 with ntl's Base Pack.
So, please tell me-
where is the value for money again??
