You are in --> ICDG --> Channels --> Tuning --> NTL Dublin

NTL Dublin - Analogue Cable

NTL Dublin transmits all its channels in-band on VHF. A decoder is only supplied if you subscribe to Premium services. This has the advantage that you are able to tape programmes on a cable channel and watch another channel, and you can give the 26 channels whatever numbers you want! But it has the side-effect that you are unable to view pay-per-view events unless you first subscribe to a premium channel.
