Perhaps with a sign on it, saying "Beware of the leopard"?

The PVR should have launched in most areas by Jan 07

I think the answer to that as been posted in previous pages :)

Regarding the "Will it be better than Sky+" - I think YES

I would hope that the majority of CURRENT TiVo users will agree when I say that Sky+ is pants (Compared to TiVo). For example, why cant you tell it to record all films starring a specific actor? Why does it not build up a profile about you and record things you might like?

NTL do not have to release something too amazing to be better than Sky+ as Sky+ is not that great anyway. Its a basic PVR with a programmes guide tagged on.. nothing more.

If the design team have looked at TiVo when designing the NTL/Telewest PVR.. then it is plausible that it could be considerably BETTER than Sky+ in my opinion.

I wonder what BBC/ITV have up their sleeves for theyre Freesat launch?

does anyone know if its possible to upgrade the sky+ box with more memory?
the ntl one due to be launched does have more but i was wondering if sky users can upgrade thiers to match.

also has anyone seen any pics of the ntl pvr as the new sky boxes do look pretty smart

;) The box ntl are using is the same box telewest use .I do belive you can put in a bigger hard drive on sky +

This is what the Telewest TVdrive looks like and what NTL will be using as well.http://www.telewestinfo.co.uk/TVDriv...SetTopBox1.gif

Correction.

The PVR SHOULD HAVE launched several years ago around the same time as sky+, but may be expected to launch in most areas by Jan 07 :D

Any news on when there'll be an official announcement of launch dates?

Thanks

I guess once they have finished trialing and testing the box and are confident that everything is fine with it. Maybe they will launch different areas at different times.

Makes sense. Then you can use the profits gained from phase 1 of the roll-out to fund phase 2 etc. Only side effect is that the customers who get it last get extremely p'd off :mis:

Par for the course with NTL. Released in 1 area then take 2 years to release the rest just like VOD :LOL:
