    Well no sooner do I get my box and they're shutting down
    channels, MTVs' Rapture is gone already (no loss) and now ITN
    have announced the end of thier 24 hr channel as of the new year.

    So question, are NTL going to charge us for 34 (I think) channels
    when we have 32 or will they find replacments?.

    If so they can start with BBC News 24 and Bravo.

    Mike.

    I was wondering what rapture was, itn is as you say no great loss. cnn + skyn + bbcn would be a great news pack. Dont know much of bravo though.

    Rapture was a clubbing and extreme sports channel. i found it to be good at times and Mike it wasn't an MTV channel. Bravo claims itself to be a channel for the lads. it's ok, that programme on at 1am weekdays is quite good

    Bravo is crap compared to last year, there was some good movies on and the wrestling was pretty good aswell.

    I'd love to have BBC Knowledge and BBC News 24 (failing that, I'd settle for Challenge TV - for the quiz shows and Sky Sports Extra, which we probably haven't a snowball's chance of getting).

    IMO Rapture (when I had my satellite) was absolutely terrible.

    BBC News 24 or Challenge TV..... That's no choice!!! :eek: I wouldn't settle for Challenge TV. It's horrid TV.

    There is not a chance of getting Sky Sports Extra, on any other platform. Thats just an added bonus for Sky Digital subscribers.

    Rebel,
    We've got E4 and CNN, but no Channel 5,
    I think that is more to
    do with them than NTL though.

    Well, I'd love to see the SuperBowl live next month. But if Sky carry on keeping NFL excluive to SSE, I'm screwed!

    The current plans are to keep it open after all and rename it "ITV News" or something.

    We'll see what happens, though.
