I'm moving my NTL TV to Sky+ ..here's what happend!
ok, I plan to take the dive and give up NTL television for Sky plus 
Tho, I want to keep my NTL broadband and telephone, I assume that's possible...the Sky guy said it would be.
£199 to buy the Sky plus box
Then £34.99 pm for the movies world package and family package (No sports)
Sounds bloody good if you ask me! ...but will NTL let me just cancel the television and has anyone done this without problems?

That's it, blame me....  
You can have BB & phone from ntl with no problems.
I meg will be £37.99, & phone will be £9.50 (I think), + any 'talk' packages you may want.

Re: I need more (Neil's fault!)
When I signed up for broadband I had to take TV and phone as well. Later, when it was allowed, I ditched the TV and phone, leaving just the broadband thru the STB. To do this, they simply reconfigured my box. However, they still left me with channels 1 thru 7 - for free Later, when my STB failed, Bill C came round and swapped it for a cable modem so no more free TV - but then we have'nt got a telly either!

Likewise and you will certainly not regret getting Sky +. I did exactly what you are contemplating at the beginning of the year and I have not looked back!
Why did I wait so long?

Re: I need more (Neil's fault!)
Did you transfer your TV package from NTL to Sky+ for the price? or the greater intractivity you get with Sky+??
How much cheaper is Sky+ than NTL when you want all the channels?

Re: I need more (Neil's fault!)
ok I thought I'd update this thread!
I'm now a Sky customer! seeya NTL (TV only, keeping my BB and TV).
Sky's deal
Sky+ is £149
Minidish and digibox = FREE (planning to put this in the bedroom )
Installation = FREE
Sky+ subscription: £40 pm for all packages (movies, sports and family pack)
Normal sky subcription for the normal digibox, for the bedroom = FREE
TOTAL cost
One off purchase of Sky+ box of £149
monthly cost of £40 for Sky+ and normal Sky.
Can anyone honestly say NTL can even try to beat this!!!!!
All I need to do now is stop my NTL TV

Re: I need more (Neil's fault!)
Aren't you also forgetting that the Sky boxes are yours and you will have to foot the bill for repairs/new box, unless you take out some monthly plan?

are there any discounts being offered to existing sky digital customers?
will it work with the same minidish or do you need a new one installed?
Im only asking because our Digibox for the sky Digital is on its way out I think and my parents are considering switching to NTL, though if I tell them this about SKY+ im sure they'l be interested.

I think all you would have to do is have the LNB changed.

Re: I need more (Neil's fault!)
I'm all done. NTL said they'd switch my STB for a SACM this Saturday, which sounded good. Sky told me that they'd bring forward my 25 day installation date, 1st Aug, to a data after NTL have removed their TV service.
Sorry to say but Sat is bad for me, so I've next Tuesday, 13th July. I promptly phoned up Sky and they've brought forward the installation to the 15th
I'll be TV less for a day or two, but bar anything decent being on I'm happy
Will keep you updated [of any problems!]
