The 'interactive services' are mainly cr@p to seperate fools from their money- and the red dot ruins the picture --- yes I know you can press back up --- not when its a video you can't. If you have not had Sky you cannot estimate how irritating it is. See http://dvdfever.co.uk/pressrel/pressred.shtml for more details
Similarly Sky+ is overhyped junk designed to lock you into Rupert cos you have bought kit which only works on sky (by another PVR)
NTL is a little cheaper if you have all 3 services CF sky. Customer service is way better and did I mention NO RED DOT |
I believe that the red dot is coming soon to NTL and when it eventually does it will be just as bad as it is on Sky.
It was nice to be able to choose which Champions League game you wanted to see on Sky using thee red button but you wouldn't know if you only have NTL.
Please remind me, are the interactive games free on NTL?
My Sky+ box was well worth the money and only working on Sky isn't a problem as at the moment, and for the forseeable future, Sky beats NTL hands down. Where can you buy a PVR for your NTL setup that has dual record facilities.
I don't know about Sky customer services as I have never had to call them but I do know how long I had to wait to get through to NTL CS>
