    Sorry if this is not the right place,,,,

    Anyways.. My question.

    If i order a full package from UPC ( all tv stations) will i get the same as if I order all the stations from Sky ?

    I know i might miss out on some HD stations but will i get all the others ?

    Thanks.

    simple as - sky have more channels at BETTER quality. they charge more. you need a satellite on the side of your house/apartment for sky... ntl - chances are you're pre-wired.

    ntl (chorus/UPC) have about 8 (it might be SLIGHTLY more) HD Channels whereas the full sky package (Sky World HD) has 37 HD channels

    You want more channels, you gotta pay (like me - unfortunately)

    Also the remote on UPC has well known problems interfering with other equipment.

    If i press channel up on my UPC remote it mutes my amp :confused:

    UPC are well aware of it and there solution was to put a piece of black sellotape over the red light on the UPC box :confused:

    Sky for the win if you dont mind spending extra. only went for UPC for the broadband. Dont really watch telly

    If it was up to me I'd go with UPC for the broadband. TV can wait imo. Sky has a ton more channels but tbh, about 85+% are a pile of crap.

    You'll also miss out on some of Sky's free movie channels on UPC as well as some entertainment, sports, shopping, all cooking channels, and some documentary channels.

    Best thing to do is to go to UPC's site and compare it with Sky's offerings.
