Re: PVR release dates
 

This is the feature that I'm looking forward to (as with my present STB & HD recorder setup, I can only set up recordings 2-3 days in advance, which is no good when I go out of the country for a week!).

Good pics, thanks for the info.

Nice one thanks

Re: PVR release dates
 

not that it will get much use now but is the VCR scart socket RGB ? on the Samsungs i think only the TV scart socket is RGB

Re: PVR release dates
 

It's not, same as all the other boxes (and most consumer STBs it seems!)

Re: PVR release dates
 

FWIW I just phoned NTL customer services. They said that the TVDrive would be available in my postcode (NW6) on 23 January.

Pinch of salt required but at least they could give a definite date...

Re: PVR release dates
 

I phoned up NTL sales and asked when the TVDrive would be released in the Dorset region. I was told by a lady that they had no official date but she'd heard it would be the middle of next month.

like how the smart card goes in the back stops little fingers messing.;)

Re: PVR release dates
 

I'm in NW6 too and didn't manage to get anything out of them! I'm planning on coming over from Homechoice so it's good to know a date so I can plan giving HC my 30 days notice to cancel my contract!

Re: PVR release dates
 

When I called up last week I was told that based on my postcode (GU51 - North East Hampshire) Dec 12th was the roll out date in my area.

I was also told that they were not yet taking bookings, but that the letter/info pages were at the printers and I should expect a letter fairly soon.

I'll try ringing again at the start of Dec.

Re: PVR release dates
 

I phoned sales tonight after I got a TV Drive leaflet in the post today and I'm booked for the 28th. One thing I found odd was that they could relocate the current box for an extra £5 a month or take the box away and I pay the £75 installation fee. Being in a 1-bedroom flat I've decided to get rid of the old Pace box.

Re: PVR release dates
 

Purely cosmetic question - does the PVR display the time on the front at all anywhere or is it just the channel number ?

Re: PVR release dates
 

The time is displayed on the front panel if the PVR is in standby mode.

Re: PVR release dates
 

Excellent - thanks :)

Better than my NTL/Tivo combi and my Thommo DHD4000, none of which have clocks (luckily my rarely used Sony DVD recorder does)
