OK, I seem to have started a bit of a reaction here so let's clear it up before it degenerates into something else.

I have anologue, due to the fact 2 STB's on analogue are cheaper than 2 Digital STB's and it was what my father budgeted for when considering all the other bills he had to pay. Granada Plus is no more as stated, and ITV3 is the 'new Plus' as it were with all the programming that used to be on the Plus channel.

I accept analogue is a limited service and digital is the 'daddy', it's just disappointing that NTL can't negotiate a deal for their still loyal analogue customers in light of ITV3, loyalty is still a key factor for NTL isn't it irrespective if they are analogue or digital customers?

If NTL's hands are tied then it's obviously not NTL's fault, and if it's not technically possible to give ITV3 to analogue customers then I hold my hands up and leave it at that, but as a paying customer I'm at least entitled to voice my concerns for the analogue customer.
