Oh just call the bloody number. You'd be getting something for free anyway.
Some people...

no - if we get the number I want to add it to the saynoto0870 site so everyone can benefit.
BTW 0870 numbers often pay over 3p per minute profit, not 2p as someone suggested.

Re: 4 Free Issues of the Radio times for NTL customers
Don't forget that it is an NTL version of Radio Times.
The last time I got it - it had a couple of extras which replaced things like the digital radio listings.
I also think that the regions sections of BBC1 and ITV1 were not quite as good as the newsagent version.
It may have changed now though.
I cancelled it because of the above - and the fact it was delivered a couple of days later than the newsagent had it - and sometimes was not delivered at all - and sometimes got two a week.

It is the London edition regardless of your location.  I still subscribe to it though, the letters page is quite good.
It was revamped a short while ago and now includes digital radio listings.

Re: 4 Free Issues of the Radio times for NTL customers
I had this offer on the back of one of the pages of my bill this morning so I called them to get my freebies 
What's weird is that they said I wouldn't get my first one 'till the 15th Feb. I would of thought I'd get one next Tuesday. Anyway they're a freebie so I'm not too worried

Re: 4 Free Issues of the Radio times for NTL customers
So I had 4 radio times..... Two weeks go by and I got one this morning.
I don't know if I'm still being charged - in which case I have 'missed' two weeks.
I called customer services who were unable to find any details about radio times being on my account.
Does this mean that I'm not being charged?

Re: 4 Free Issues of the Radio times for NTL customers
I would keep quiet - did you get the CS name? If not record the details of when you rang them....could be that the CS you spoke to looked at the wrong screen....
BTW - I'm a great advocate of the Say no to 0870 website : http://www.saynoto0870.com .... sorry but when a company says we care about Customers then call us with any problems and you pay us while complaining it really p&*1es me off.......

If you want the best source by far to find out what's on TV then there is only one option, DigiGuide.
You don't need to bother about whether the phone call is free or costs you. You don't phone, just go to the DigiGuide site, download the software and use it free for 30 days then pay far less per year than the Radio Times would cost. Every channel is listed and you can organise it the way you want to and it has a brilliant search facility.

But I don't 
I just want to make sure that I'm not being charged past my free trial period.

Re: 4 Free Issues of the Radio times for NTL customers
DigiGuide is very good, but it has a flaw: you can't leave it on the coffee table in the lounge in case you want to see what's on.
Yes you can print it off but that just looks a bit council. At first glance it looks like you've photocopied someone else's TV magazine to avoid buying your own!

Well, some of us have moved into the 21st century and watch what we want on TV at the time we want to watch it. Sky+ and DigiGuide are an excellent combination, catch up NTL.
Tell you what. My daughter last night asked me to record "The Borrowers" next time it was on. Quick check on DigGuide told me that it would be on the Disney Channel 7th May at 13:30 which I easily set to record on Sky+. Now check your coffee table for the same info and set it to record on your euqipment. You better put it in your diary because there is no way you can.
DigiGuide has listings for five of the Sky movie channels and all the box office channels upto the end of May. Well worth the £8.99 per year.

That's all fine if your PC happens to be near the TV, which mine isn't.
If I'm watching telly and want to know what's on later, I find it easier to pick up a paper magazine that's next to me rather than run upstairs and use the PC.
