NTL Again!

mike65

During the cricket coverage Channel 4 have to give horse racing some of its time on a Saturday so they open up FilmFour to non-subscribers on cable/satellite/freeview. So as a cricket fan (and a happy Englander!) I wrote to NTL regarding access to FilmFour to watch uninterupted coverage of the current test series.

Heres my letter...

According to Channel 4 ppl with access to Film Four on NTL can watch uninterruppted coverage without having to subscribe to the channel.
This may be true in the UK but its not here, so any chance of giving us cricket fans the option?

...and thier reply.

Dont they understand what I wrote or do they just not want to know? If Channel 4/Film Four have made it possible to watch cricket then its up to NTL here to complete the chain by flicking a switch somewhere...or an I being unreasonable?

Sounds like you need to spell it out for them Mike...ie.

"Give us access to filmfour, even if it's scrambled, so we can avail of it when it's freeview".

Sometimes, you can get 20 mins of it, then they remember and scramble. Grr.
