    NTL in the UK have just secured Sky One Mix, Sky Travel, Sky Travel Extra, The Amp, Flaunt and Scuzz. Previously you could only get these on Sky Digital.
    Whether you like them or not, these seem to be the type of channels that NTL here favours having here and we will more than likely see them at some point.

    by reselling SKY - it's not a question of which provider do you use but how do I see SKY channels.

    Roll on July 14th :)

    I would not care for them - I'd rather get some of the extra BBC channels. The Sky channels are probably cheaper, though. If NTL Ireland started showing this stuff, I'd probably just switch to satelite and be done with it. I could then get the BBC channels off another satelite.

    I'd probably rather the BBC channels orite.

    I wonder if we'll get E4 +1. Seems like the sh!t NTL would like.
    (please god no ! , we already have a sh1t channel we dont need it timeshifted :mad: :mad: )

    What are the chances of NTL getting any of the BBC channels anyway ???

    ,they are also producers of programs same as BBC UTV RTE ETC...

    The programs are made by independent companies who also make programs for all the other channels. Also the programming is funded by ADs - so SKY are really acting as middle men - just curious to know how much "creative input/control" they have or use. The other channels listed all have a history of making and selling programs as opposed to just buying them in...

    btw will these come free on teh basic NTL analogue package, or are you referring to digital only?
