HELP, SKY or NTL
Hi guys
Moving into a new house with my girlfriend in the next month or so, and having some dillemmas
I currently have analouge digital with ALL channels and 600k broadband, personally the tv is good no problems and the broadband which used to be dodgy has settled down and is reliable enough that i can work from home.
In my new house i would like to stay with NTL BB, working from home and the office has its benefits but im confused about which tv solution i should go to.
I know i will have to go digital as NTL have stopped supplying there analouge service, i would like to know what would work out better for me, i will be supscribing to the movie chanells and whichever package includes UKGOLD
Can anyone advise me which router i shouold choose, i fancy the SKY+ option for at 10 a month im not sure
HELP.............

Re: HELP, SKY or NTL
One thing to bear in mind, is that your ntl BB may not be as efficient in your new property (it may also be the same/better)
Also-I don't think ntl have stopped selling analogue-ColeJ gave me a link earlier with analog sales on it-can't find it now.
Sky + certainly looks like an attractive option, & it's also something that ntl don't appear to be offering for quite some time yet.
HTH.

I think that tomorrow, when it's predicted that NTL will be raising their prices, I'll be looking at going SKYwards!

Re: HELP, SKY or NTL
The other thing is that if you don't want/can't have a SKY dish, then your options are limited!, but if it's lots of channels you want, then I think it's fair to say that Sky gives you more channels per pound.

If you subscribe to more than one of Sky's Premium channels (which it sounds like you would do), then you get the Sky+ subscription for free - no £10/month
EDIT:
Also, this site is good for comparing different offers for Digital TV:
http://www.uswitch.com/
Select the Digital TV option, plug in your postcode, & then it will tell you what is available in your area, & give you a comparison of the packages each DTV provider supplies, etc.
(The site is also v good for seeing if you can get cheaper gas/electricity/phone bills etc too)

No please dont go there. Digital is slow. The sound is not as good as FREEview you only get a few extra channels and the price is a rippoff. If you want Analogue back go for it. Tell them who's boss (YOU THE CUSTOMER)
If they wont to get customers back go for what you were on http://www.ntlhome.com/ntl_analoguetv/index.asp
Just dont take any jip from them
