I had NTL tv for 7 years, firstly analogue before moving to digital. I was constantly fed up with the box freezing and it took forever to change a channel and the channels were all over the place, not very well organised. Anyway i kept the NTL broadband and the phone line and ditched the DTV for Sky + about a year ago. I wonder why the heck i hadnt made the move sooner. The box is lightning fast, channels well organised, and i have had NO break up of signal or picture quality even in heavy rain and i have only had to reboot the box once in almost a year. With NTL rebooting the box was sometimes a daily job. My box i had with NTL was a Pace one, i hear the new Samsung boxes are very good and quicker but in my area they still seem to be using pace boxes. My m8 still has NTL tv and the other day i was round at his and wanted to see how the tv was now that VOD etc has been rolled out. After 5 minutes of messing about with the control the box produced an error code and froze. Ended up lobbing the remote to one side in frustration lol.

Im a BIG football fan as well and i wonder how the heck i managed without the interactive sky sports which isnt available on NTL.

At the end of the day i know people have problems with both Sky and NTL.

Its what suits you at the end of the day, but my advice would be dont move to NTL for tv. After experiencing Sky you'll wonder why the heck you moved to IMHO an inferior service.
