Re: Why ntl and not sky?

Quote:
- The cost for each package is similar
- I don't live in a conservation area, so I can have a minidish
- Sky offers more channels
are their any channels offered by sky that you don't get with ntl that you would want?

Quote:
- Sky offers new channels first
true, but as they say in the guiness advert... good things come to those who wait

Quote:
sky's interactive service works
can't argue with that one!

Quote:
- Normal teletext is available on many channels on Sky
why use teletext when you have the internet? i see teletext as the most outdated technology we have, with no signs of it ever being updated!

Quote:
- Sky has multistart movies and an interactive movie guide
isn't this the same as on demand? or have i misunderstood

Quote:
- Sky's customer service is better than ntl's
no comment :pp

- Sky's digibox doesn't crash several times a week
but is affected by adverse weather

Quote:
- Sky's digibox allows you to watch analogue whilst recording digital
you can do this on ntl as well... infact i do quite regularly

Personally, i stick with the philosophy, if it ain't broke; don't fix it. Unless you have a good reason to leave ntl, i would stick with it as you might find that swapping over is more hassle than it is worth, and you will then be stuck in a 12month contract with sky; i assume your contract with ntl has now passed the 12month mark. As MGP said, if you get rid of ntl tv, you will have to pay for the phone line rental.

and lastly.... to the site
