    If theres Digital theres Analogue. In Farmleigh you can get the Broadband and Phone aswell.
    Standard Digital package is cheaper than the analogue package and has an extra 36 channels.
    Digital Value - €20.75 - €22.75 per month with the recording box - 52 channels and 41 radio stations
    Analogue Tv - €24.75 per month - 16 channels

    Hope That helps :)

    They will but its more expensive to set up than digital because in october the Analogue signal will cease so its to stop people wanting the analogue service :)

    Just normal analogue TV. Just wanting to advise the brother in law about putting TV points into each room, but not setting up NTL Multi Room because not every room is rented yet!

    Analogue isn't being turned of in October is it? Thought they delayed that!

    Analogue in general is being switched of as its mainly digital they want work now (the governments idea, but the UK and other countires have done the same).

    I am sure that the government are only concerned about the analogue terrestrial network. UPC runs on a private network.

    NTL/UPC have had a policy of encouraging people to move to digital for years through pricing and degrading (or maybe not maintaining) the analogue signal so they can switch it off.

    I am sure that it will be turned off eventually. I just want to know when they announced it.
