17 + 2 new channels for NTL Go Digital

Hey all,

It has just been confirmed to me that NTL are launching 17 new channels to Go Digital on Aug 5th!!! Details will be sent to customers next week. They are not providing any info on which channels are arriving
Seperate to this, two subscription channels are being added to the FilmFour package, FilmFour +1 and FilmFour Weekly!

Sounds good!

Great news,
I didn't think they'd add as many as that.

I'd say they'll probably be adding the rest of the uktv channels such as UK Style, Horizons, Food etc & also maybe living tv & attheraces.

I e-mailed them about it myself earlier in the week but still haven't got any reply.

We're getting:

attheraces
Sky Sports News
E4+1

We seem to also be getting about 12 new radio channels aswell.

Oh cr*p. Not impressed with this at all. OK the music channels are always welcome, but why Discovery +1, I've never watch that channel as for Bravo +1 umm.
Nice to see Living, but where are the remaining UK TV channels. I for one would love to have UK Style, Food and Challenge TV!!

patrickmooney

Can you post up details on the radio channels!

I agree, I really thaught we'd get the other UKTV channels. I'm not a big fan of +1's, but i would like Disc H&L +1.

I'm very happy about getting attheraces (again), Sky One Mix & Sky Sports News (or even Sky Football News as it's sometimes referred to)

I also recieved the full new EPG line up, I'll post it in a few mins.

Here's the new channel order

OK not bad radio stations.....but who is likely to listen to those EMAP stations if they have the TV Channels too. I'd much prefer having the Irish Channels (98fm and FM104) up there. Also more special interest chs from from the UK...I can think of a few!

Strange that they added only BBC 6 Music, and not the other digital BBC radio stations.

I've just noticed that on the front of each leaflet it says Dublin. I wonder if Waterford & Galway will even have their channel order changed.

Why bother if we dont have any new channels? :mad:

Will Sky Sports News be part of the basic package or the sports package?

Basic package

Are they going to change the colour scheme as well? Or is it just the layout of the channels? Tbh the purple is getting on my nerves at this stage. It would be nice little feature if you could choose your own colour scheme, like with the new nokia phones.

No,
I don't think there's goin to be any software updates in the near future.
I know that with CR3 in the UK the colour scheme is changing from purple to blue (Their new corporate colour scheme) soon. The purple colour scheme doesn't really bother me that much but I would like it blue.

TV5 to be demoted to Specialist #825 - controversial...

And Bravo's not in entertainment?

Still, it makes a good addition to the line up...
