    just wondering is anyone else getting free pay per view movies from chorus? I have ordered 3 movies off them and never recieved anything in my bill?

    i still think they are poo, and they dont offer enough variety of movies, i think it changes once a fortnight, but i wonder is it just my setup?

    setup:
    sagem box with their fancy remote with the red yellow green and blue buttons.

    note: i was told that i couldnt use the pay for view feature unless i plugged the phone line in, and i never bothered. is this why i can order but they cant get my order details? or just pure coincidence?

    when we first signed up to Cablelink (as it was then), they told us that we'd have Sky Movies free for a month.

    7 months later, they finally remembered to turn off Sky Movies on our box.

    This time we signed up for the movies with ntl: just before Christmas - although, unlike last time, we're paying for it now. We specified that we wanted it for a month - just so we'd have the Christmas specials and all that... so we should have been cut off, - oh I dunno- 5 days ago.

    ... and we weren't.

    Forgetfulness ... great, isn't it? :D

    btw, in order to answer your question, - the best place I've seen to order Sky Digital from would be Dixons - or, if possible, Sky Éire themselves.

    great in some ways, not so great in others. it could be that NTL will charge you for this month too. you'd want to give them a ring just in case

    Bard be very careful. Last Christmas I got a sales call from NTL wanting to know would I like to have the Movie chnls over Christmas, just for two months Dec and Jan. I made sure it was just over the Christmas period and just for 2 months and the cost would be £17.99 per month. Imagine my suprise when my next bill arrived on Jan 11th. They had changed my billing to 6 monthly periods and yes I was being charged for 6 months Movies. As I was on direct debit with them at the time this caused all sorts of hassel. When I rang up to explain the bill was wrong they told me I should not have been told it was only for 2 months, a load of crap basically. Talk about sharp practise. I'm sure they hoped I would just keep the channels and fork out the extra subscription.
