Will NTL's Free TV offer survive Virginercation?

Does anyone know if the Free TV offer:
http://home.ntl.com/websales/product.do?id=10423

...will still exist after the Virgin re-branding? My Dad is asking me about upgrading to Digital from Analogue and I suggested the Free TV package to him - but will it still exist after February 14th?

Re: Will NTL's Free TV offer survive Virginercation?

I think it does survive 'Virginercation', I've looked at the new prices from February 1st:

http://www.whycable.co.uk/pricechang...Price_List.pdf

....and the TV Size:M package is free (excluding £11 phone rental). Shouldn't that be the starter pack instead? Ho-Hum.

Here's a list of the channels you get: Channel Listing

I think you also get Sky One on the Free TV pack.

Yep, as far as I know it will cost you £28.99.

Indeed. But you can get the 2 for £20 offer, which includes 2Mb broadband and Select pack TV.

And, of course, access to On Demand which includes plenty of free content as well as the paid-for stuff. There's also more digital radio channels than you get on Freeview.
