I think you misunderstood what I said....I know that ntl don't chose the programmes - but that's not the issue, the issue is that programmes that
should be there are not.
The programmes have to have the rights cleared by the copyright owner (in the case of Eastenders, it's the BBC) - so yes they choose the programme.
However, I think I am right in saying that ntl are responsible for 'taping' the programmes that the BBC have chosen - but they obviously were not taped in these two cases (either that or something else is going wrong).
I'm not complaining about the range of choice (although that could be better too), but it's a bit rich in the week that ntl post me the glossy brochure saying how I can watch Top Gear and Eastenders for those very two programmes to be completely absent.
Saying that, thanks very much for raising it. I am sure that your colleague understands that the future sucess or failiure of his system depends on consistency and providing what is promised, so I'm sure he'll take this issue seriously.
