Re: Digital TV Base Pack

That is good news - I'm downgrading to the base pack soon anyway.

Nice one

- I guess ntl's thinking on this is that with E4 available on all analogue packs, they are now more likely to upgrade to digital.

I guess it's also possible that, with Freeview getting more and more popular and NTL's Base Pack offering so little over and above what you can now get for nowt, they're starting to realise they need to do a little better.

The missus'll be delighted, she loves E4.

Re: Digital TV Base Pack

If there is a price increase it won't be because they have given you E4 in the base pack, they would of increased the price anyway

I don't think there will be one now - they have normally informed us by now about the usual May price increases

Re: Digital TV Base Pack

E4 has been in analogue base pack since it launched on analogue - I have a feeling it's due to top-up tv which is similarly priced to the digtal base pack. A bit of healthy competition can only be a good thing
