NTL Ireland adds extra BBC channels

BBC WORLD removed

NTL Ireland today added the extra BBC Digital channels to its EPG (Dublin only, unfortunately). The channel numbers are:

·         BBC THREE – youth programming - #115

·         BBC FOUR – arts and culture - #116

·         BBC NEWS 24 – news - #206

·         CBBC – childrens programmes - #608

·         CBeebies -  preschool programmes - #609

·         BBC WORLD has moved to #219

This means that BBC Radios 7 and 1xtra are the only major BBC stations not available on the NTL Digital EPG – Radio 6 Music is already available.. The new channels give NTL an edge over Sky – although Sky viewers can access the stations, they must tune them in on “Other Channels” while NTL viewers have them on the EPG. Religious station EWTN has also been added, while The Adult Channel has been added as a pay-per-view option.

You can discuss this story on our ICDG Cable and MMDS Forum.
