About a million to one?

We already get S4C2 don't we? Channel 853?

I keep seeing people talk about how bad Friendly TV is....I feel I'm missing out on telvisual badness!!

asdf · 27-01-2004, 13:51

It's that bad that it's almost good. I can't say it's that great though.

SMHarman · 27-01-2004, 14:16

I thought all the BBC regions were up there in the 900s also.

poolking · 27-01-2004, 14:23

Didn't NTL tell Rapture TV that the platform was full?

Live TV said they would never ever return to cable because of the way they were treated before.

FX? Do you mean FX289? Would this require channel renumbering?

Yep the BBC Regions are in the 900 range, on the langley platform anyway.

asdf · 27-01-2004, 14:55

I think he means getting *every* BBC region. Which they have on Satelitte, but imho is just a waste of bandwidth for the few minutes of different programming a day.

there only ever seems to be information pages on it though

dont see y they dont set it up as an entertainment channel and have all their dramas with subtitles on it - some might enjoy it.

We get the 4 BBC ONE nations, not the regions, niether do we get BBC TWO variants

$ky · 27-01-2004, 18:12

ntl only get the NATIONAL BBC1 varients which are BBC ONE ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, WALES and NORTHERN IRELAND, what is being asked above is the REGIONAL varients (ie BBC ONE SOUTH, CHANNEL ISLANDS, MIDLANDS etc). Artworld was supposed to have launched when The Hits, TMF, Ftn etc launched on channel 199 (where it is on $ky) but nevel did, I don't know why though. ntl have *apparently* told Rapture TV that their flatform is *full* which may or may not be true. ntl only really launch *big* company channels ie. BBC, ITV, $ky, EMAP, Viacom... etc etc. so I dont think that the likes of Friendly TV, Chart Show TV, The Vault and L!ve TV will ever launch. Performance used to be on ntl but when their contract ran out it was them who refused to renew it, nothing to do with ntl. I cannot see EuroNews or FOX News launching as I dont think there is a big enough demand for them. S4C~ and S4C~2 are available on the ntl platform, but only in Scotish areas (or is it Wales?). The only channels I can see launching are E! and Bravo +1 as they both are already on ntl in Ireland, but this might mean having to get rid of some channels...?
