Re: New Channel Launched?
Because Express are paying NTL the going rate.... NTL can't say 'No we're waiting on a potentially popular entertainment channel to pay up so go away!'

Angry Re: New Channel Launched?
I'd like an answer from someone at NTL when we are going to get some decent NEW channels, instead of crappy shopping channels like we seem to have received on CH 939.

Re: New Channel Launched?
I'm beginning to wonder, just what is the point of NTL, just what IS their selling point, when it seems all they do is bundle an incomplete Sky channel package and a Phone line (it's not "free"), and an often troubled broadband.

Their own Film channel (the Studio) closed, and their only other individual contribution is the lamentable "Local channel".

Is there a good reason for getting your Sky channels via NTL, other than it avoids that ugly dish?

The "ugly dish" is not as obtrusive as the plethora of TV aerials that dominate the landscape and you can get dishes other than the standard black that blend in better with your property.
