S4C & BBC 2 Wales

J P D · 18-04-2005, 15:11

I have been told that it is possible to access these two channels {& others} through NTL. Could anyone offer any advice how this is done ? Any help would be much appreciated. Apologies if this has been asked previously.

Thank you.

I don't believe it is possible. NTL broadcasts all the BBC1 variants to all customers, but not BBC2 or S4C AFAIK. If you really want to get regional programming from outside your own home area, you need Sky.

to Cable Forum, by the way!

When I left Ntl it was 'Being looked into' but I wouldn't hold your breath.

Welcome to the site BTW.

I know some Welsh people in Heaton Moor who have a big aerial pointing at the homeland to pick up the analogue channels. Might work in Poynton too.

edit: come to think of it, when I lived in Levenshulme I could pick up some Welsh channels without a big aerial. Picture wasn't brilliant, mind.

S4C is 752
and S4C2 is 853

I think S4C is the all welsh version... not sure which package they are available on either.
