For reasons best known to themselves, NTL have changed their channel numbers so they’re in line with Sky. IE BBC1 is no longer the quick ‘n’ easy ‘1’. No, its the easily miss-pressed ‘101’. Likewise ITV is now ‘103’ instead of the sensible ‘3’. Apparently this system is more ‘logical’ but I can’t see the benefit myself. ‘1’ doesn’t seem to be doing anything now so why bother moving them other than to confuse an bemuse your customers by taking a simple logical system and making it illogical. Oh well, anyone from NTL (or SKy for that matter) care to explain the logic?
