NTL Digital Select (Basic) Option

d8player

Hi

Can anyone tell me the difference between the channels offered for the NTL Digital €5/month option (Select pack) and the €10 option (Max pack). National Geographic for one seems to be not included in the cheaper option. I see elsewhere in this forum that FilmFour is included free with the Max but not the Select. Anything else?

Thanks,
D8Player

I'd also be interested, if it's only these two channels is it worth twice the price?

Also all the +1 channels are not included as well as a few of the music channels and I know for certain that Nick Jnr is not either as I downgraded and had to go back up when we found that that one was missing.

National Geographic is also missing.

can't remember whether Kerrang was on the Basic line-up.

Bit sad I know listing all these off, but as has been said here the ntl site is a disaster when it comes to listing what extra channels you get if you upgrade from the intro digital pack.

It seems to be pretty up to date, except for the lack of Film Four.

Isn't Living TV on analogue now?

On analogue but appaently not on their basic digital pack.

Hey,

I got the basic option yesterday and overall am very happy with it. The picture quality is very good and the new channels are good value for an extra €5. I would really like National Geographic, FilmFour and Animal Planet which are part of the €10 Max package but would not be prepared to pay extra for them so I'm happy enough to do without them.
