Hi,
I'm new here so please excuse me if this has been discussed before.
What the hell happened to buying prem plus games in the tv-on-demand section
of the ntl service??
Do I have to ring up now everytime I want to pay to watch a game? Dull.

On a side note, does anybody know why the service has become so botchy ever since they switched everthing over to a new menu system.
Browsing the channels is such a chore now, it's like the stb is now connected at dialup modem speeds. Most of the time it doesn't list the program I just get 'searching for programmes...'. And the tv guide generally doesn't work properly, it freezes and tells me there's a fault and to try again later.
I keep ringing up ntl and all I get is "we'll send a new signal down the line" which makes no difference whatsoever. They won't send an engineer.

Overall since the switch the sevice has gotten buggy and slow, yet nobody at ntl will accept this at all. Seriously thinking of just packing in ntl, I'm so frustrated with them.

Like I said, sorry if all this is old news, I've only discovered this excellent site.
