Oh some good news for all you fans of Horror !

Horror fans will be pleased to read that The Horror Channel will appear on ntl - but not until the autumn.
The Horror Channel's website is reporting that they have signed a carriage deal with ntl to appear on their "broadband space" but that it will not appear until the autumn because ntl are doing an Service Information download.

The site reports they are still in negotiations with Telewest, but TW broadband users will be able to get a "taster of the channel" and are also talking to European cable operators to expand the station overseas.

The wrestling channel is what we want, more of TNA impact on eurosport with dubbed in comentators, who call the names wrong.

Thats what we want. (enjoying fx289)

I also believe the Winner Channel is coming to ntl according to DigitalSpy.

I believe that is only an interactive service

The Horror Channel is horrific for all the wrong reasons. I am horrified at its dreadfulness. It's so bad, even $ky give it away in the Base Pack. No big deal really.

It's not THAT bad - I put it on now and again if I need a laugh

I agree - I love horror films but the Horror Channel is just awful! Having said that, you'll be alright if you like obscure nonsense that you can neither understand nor see properly, or the really naff 80s stuff that wasn't even popular then.

We've had it since it first started and I can honestly say that I have only ever watched 2 things on it - the original Nosferatu and 976-Evil (believe me, there really was nothing else on at all, and I was bored!).

None that I noticed, although I don't give it too much attention. TBH I suspect that expecting to find genuinely good horror films on the Horror Channel is a bit like expecting to find genuinely classic films on TCM.

I think you will find it is free to air on satellite.
