Questions on NTL Digital Max

Hi,

I'm about to move and am considering getting NTL digital and have a few questions before I contact NTL.

I'm very ignorant about digital TV, have always had standard analog, so bear with me here...

1. If an apartment is cabled for NTL does this mean I can get NTL digital? (Doesn't have an active connection).
2. Is it delivered by cable or do I need a dish or anything?
3. The price on the NTL Site for Digital Max is EUR32 - is this the full monthly cost - is it VAT inclusive etc?
4. Do I need a phone line?
5. The apartment has 2 or 3 NTL sockets. I only want to make use of 1 of them - can I just get one hooked up with digital and not worry about being charged for the other socket(s) not in use.
6. I'm assuming I can record stuff off digital with my standard video? Can I record from station 1 while watching station 2 - I suspect not?

Hi RMelly,

I also got NTL Digital when I moved into my apartment so can answer a few of your questions

Yes

Is it delivered by cable or do I need a dish or anything?
You get an NTL Digital box, a little smaller than a DVD Player, mine is just under the telly, with the DVD player if that gives you an idea of size.

Do I need a phone line?
No

The apartment has 2 or 3 NTL sockets. I only want to make use of 1 of them - can I just get one hooked up with digital and not worry about being charged for the other socket(s) not in use.
Thats what I did, didn't go for the multi - room viewing.

Not sure about the recording, something I don't do much of & whatever I missed is also on another channel e.g Channel 4 +1 or whatever ( hour later).

I did cancel the NTL digital because I just wasn't watching it that much, all the programmes I like are on the main 5, RTE,BBC,UTV and channel 4. Though one thing I miss is paramount comedy and the weekends dedicated to the likes of Fraiser, if you are having chilling out weekend or sick maybe.

cool, thanks for that.
