to the forum.

In fairness to NTL, they have said nothing of the sort. It is ibuy who are saying that (although NTL do own their competitors).

As for Yes661, I have no idea.. Sorry.

Yes661 was like the poor relation of the shopping channels and it really showed in the quailty of the picture etc.

I just Googled it and it is still being shown on Sky

Oh and welcome to the forum

Being re-branded as a price-crash channel by what I saw on Google.

As much as I won't miss the demise of another shopping channel, its slightly disturbing that NTL's Digital TV line up seems to shrink over time rather than grow !

Jules · 12-09-2006, 15:52

It is in fact growing because we now have Gems TV 1 and 2

IanUK · 12-09-2006, 16:54

Oh well - thats ok then

As opposed to those other, high-quality shopping channels that are well worth watching?

I found it amusing.
I liked the fact that the yes price was so stupidly huge so the "crash" price seemed so unbelievable.

grandmaster · 12-09-2006, 19:17

That was aimed at big blokes like me.

2 steamers for food and two irons to iron my pants (on the driveway) lol

Jules · 12-09-2006, 19:19
