Lots of channels popping up on NTL

The Local Channel did vanish at midday yesterday but returned some time after 4pm. Hoorah!

Incidentally, the NTL:Home promo thing that runs from 0.00 to 0.30 on odd hours during the day, has some nice stuff in it for anyone with a capture card - it's a different promo selection to the one that was running yesterday and includes things like a load of channel logos on one screen (which would make a nice background for a TV website) and lots of lovely capturable full-screen logos including what looks like a full clean ident for Discovery Animal Planet.

I've spotted at least 3 channels in that mosaic that aren't in the NTL Lineup.

I called CS this afternoon to change from 5 packs to family as we didn't have the new channels already but after a few mins they came on from 801 with Adventure One and so on... Yippee I've been watching alot of Sky Sports News and EMAP this evening! I also love the music they use on the bullitens on Sky Sports News. The one which has been in use for a while.

I heard a rumour that the ex-CWC areas were going to get the same software as the origianl ntl: areas, perhaps co-inciding with the channel shake-up. Does anyone know anything about this?
