Any news on new TV channels?
Hi All / Sam,

Once all the downloads have been completed are we likely to see NTL turn its attention to providing customers with new channels?! Its been a while!? Are there new channels in the pipe line?

FX
VH-2

to name just a couple!

RAPTURE! Isn't VH-2 just another even more watered down VH-1?

I very much doubt any new channels will be launching as ntl: are concentrating on LCR3 - plus the space that will be required for etv feeds. Also space is very sparse at the moment

Space is very limited at the moment on ntl digital platform but ntl hopes to merge Front Row with the video on demand service when it launches (no official dates) later this year, so there will be around 25 channels free - it will be these that will be used for new channels. No new channels anytime soon, concentrating on eTV mainly but also rollout of LCR3.

The current Front Row NVOD frequencies will be used by the Front Row VOD service. So no space will be freed up.

Just a little suggestion, why don't you and $ky collaborate via PM before posting? As you seem to contradicting each other a lot lately.

Hi

There are no channel launches planned that I can tell you about at the moment - sorry!

I would say that Proppin is the more informed on these issues given his position within NTL. It would help though if there were consistent stories coming from NTL associates and some of them didn't post rumours as fact.

They contradict each other because Proppinupthebar knows what he's talking about. I think that given the cross words exchanged between the two before, any collaboration is highly unlikely.

Given the amount of help/advice you give I have to agree it is a sad state of affairs. Tho you don't post anywhere but the TV help area.

Maybe you're just looking at it the wrong way Tristan? You and I have a rating of 1 - the best! It's Proppin' that really should be trying harder...

If that is the case, then $ky should really refrain from posting such things.

No disrespect here, but all info should tally, as it looks a little unprofessional when 2 NTL associates "disagree" about what is correct.
