For years my children asked me to purchase some form of satelite television but I had always refused as the cost of it was too high. Then about a year ago i came across an advert on the TV about how Cable and wireless (now NTL) had released a form of satellite TV known as Cable and Wireless digital plus. The factors which tempted me to purchase this were that no dish had to be installed and that the prices were so low. Later that night I phoned Cable and Wireless and asked them about there digital plus service to try and find the catch for the low price but they told me that there was non, I just payed 10 pounds for the service which included my ...  Read the complete review

Thing is, now digital is out my package seems inadequate, I have less channels, ...  Read the complete review

I would like to share with you all and get off my chest the problems I am having with NTL. After five years with sky, my wife persuaded me against my better judgement to upgrade our system to NTL Digital. I have had it now for just over six months, the pictures goes off all the time, and it gets stuck in the interactive services all the time. My main greivance is that they have not managed to get my bill right in six months. Last month we received a bill for 125 pounds worth of movies on demand that we hadn't watched, and before you ask nobody else had access to our tv, unless it was the dog! After three days of arguing and ...  Read the complete review

i should never have changed over to it - Advantages: none - Disadvantages: no teletext, no practical sound level, the technology is still not right for the market place
