2004 channel wish list - Page 2

They only launch the bigger channels generally as smaller channels don't generally want to fork out for a listing on Sky and carriage on ntl/telewest.

I think :p

I don't watch 90% of the channels they have now, what would I do with even more ?

With regards to FX, they say they haven't entered talks with ntl:home, nor do they plan to any time soon.

As for Rapture, I contacted them again to see if I'd get a different answer. It appears not. They have indeed sat down and had a chat with ntl: about carriage, however, ntl: have informed them that they have exhausted their capacity.

ntl isn't full, or at least wont be when analogue is dicontinued.

I don't think it's full now, is it?

Anyway, is NTL cable full? Yes and no. I think they're in a position whereby it would be too much of a squeeze to add a new channel to the current multiplex structure (it would impact too much on existing channels). I don't know how much space there is left for new muxes; it's entirely possible there isn't any. So they'd have to turn off an analogue channel first, which would actually free up enough space for 10 or so digital channels...

So is it full? It depends on your definition!

So this may require a big hardware investment, requireing cash, which NTL is a little short of - see those Bondholders want it.

FWIW, A brief look at the line up on FX is absolutely awful!

asdf · 28-01-2004, 22:58

Yeh, I gotta admit that I don't think FX is too high up on my list of wants. Just seems like re-runs of old shows (that can be found elsewhere) and filler.

Bbc News Multiscreens!!

nicknax11 · 05-02-2004, 15:51

Will it be soon?

Fx is actually a really good channel. I spend a lot of time in America, so I know the American channels well. Bad line up? Penn and Teller, The Shield, The Man Show? considering thats one evening, makes it better than most. I'd certain pay a few quid a month to add it.

2 other good channels i'd like to see:

1. HBO (Home Box Office): Most brits won't know this company, but they a channel that helps fund and create programs. HBO programs include The Sopranos, Sex and The City, and they have also funded movies, like "Gotti". Also they show decent movies, and music events, and documentries. If we could get HBO from the states, it would mean not waiting forever while Channel 4 or Sky One wait for the price to go low enough to buy it.

2. Comedy Central: The whole channel would be nice, rather than 3 comedy central shows scattered amongst other channels. It would mean we'd get South Park episodes less than 3 years old, and The Daily Show (found it somewhere late at night but can't rememeber where), Saturday night live and other stuff.

Comedy Central would be a great addition. I love SNL

Chrysalis · 06-02-2004, 19:56

my wishlist is for ntl to provide more on analogue for those of us who cant get digital

JonSav · 06-02-2004, 23:01

Comedy Central would be great, although i don't think it'll happen due to licencing rules.
