suppose that is possiable because as i say it be a bit earlier than i had been told for the channels

oh btw from what my source has said you might be able to get a idea for the launch date from the channel own website apaprntly they have it ina forum or something giving a rough date

not sure if it is the case only going on what my source has said

although my source never meantion any xntl comign to xtw ill see if i can get a udpate about it

My V box is 283 and my V+ Box is 291.

[Andrewcrawford23]

well that is weird that xntl has less

bit off topic but did ntl/ telewest test hd channels of itv channel 4 bbc in 2006 if so y is it so hard to get the channel 4 one back quickly

[Andrewcrawford23]

no they only tested itv and bbc hd

[hodgie99]

does that mean thae itv hd could come nearly straight away on lauch? did it av feed same as bbc is it still there?

[Andrewcrawford23]

itv hd went a logn time ago after the world cup they onyl trailed it for a few months

no it doesnt mean it will come back on launch it might come on launc h ti might not it depends on bandwidth and carriage being signed

how do you check how many channels you have on your box ?

[Andrewcrawford23]

go to home, then press 8, then press 6, then press the green button think to go a page down until abotu page 3 or 4

alternatively go into the engineer menu you will find it in there

NTL always has more channels than Telewest due to Telewest always thinking about the money and not their viewers.

[Andrewcrawford23]

although weirdly if you look at your v+ box channels and hodgie amount there abotu 10 which is about right

and if oyu look at yoru v box there about 4 which means tehre could be 6 xntl chanensl testing

although i notice xntl onyl has 27 transpodner where as xtw has 31

so it seems more likely that the capicty problem is xntl

ex-NTL still carries more channels with less transponders than ex-TW does (at the moment) so there must be a difference in the headend equipment that ex-NTL & ex-TW use, i wonder if ex-NTL's transponders can carry more channels than the ex-TW transponders.
