Yay more crap channels filling up the spectrum. Jimbo are these going to be replacing old channels or wasting some more bandwidth that could be used for useful purposes?

No, I really don't think you do. If you don't like the service, don't use it. Simple.
In my case sadly I'm contracted. To be honest in my experience Sky was a far superior product, major complaint for me the subtitles actually work on Sky.

Quite horrifically overdue to be fair, glad that your presence there is meaning that services are actually being tested before they are released (CR3 bloatware being a prime example of garbage ntl have thrown on custs in the past) hopefully ntl will catch up with Sky soon.

Oh and FIX THE BLOODY SUBTITLES THEY ARE A JOKE
