Explain...

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

HDTV has been available in Telewest areas since March. So we have one part of the SAME company that has a PVR and hdtv. And the other part of the company that doesn't....

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

There are no 'HD' broadcasts as such in Telewest areas, just SD (Standard Definition) broadcast in upscaled format (720p/1080i)

Still SD though.

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

Are you telling us thats the case with the HD VOD content?

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

Ah, thanks for clearing that up, i never knew it was so.
No TV's that would support it here though, just interested ;)

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

AFAIK, The only HD VOD that Telewest had available was the film Sin City (in 1080i)

I gather that it's no longer available for selection.

That is the big issue with "HD" from Telewest-it doesn't really exist & there has been no official announcement of what (if any) of Sky's proper HD channels they will be carrying IE-Sky One HD, Sky Movies HD, Sky Sports HD.

As I have said many times-if youwant a proper HDTV service you need Sky.

Fact.

End of. ;)

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

I have decided to move to sky because of this. I have been with NTL for 5 years, and have decided that waiting for HD till next year is too long. I will stop with NTL for broadband and phone, but get sky hd fitted in june :angel: .

At least my red button will be worth using then, and I wont have to press it 2 months in advance :o: .

I hardly doubt thats true for leics and southampton tho is it.

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

Just read a newspaper article (cannot find it online) that said if you were hoping to get SkyHD installed for the World Cup you will be disappointed because the earliest installs available are now afterwards in July!

Apparently Telewest is also running low on HD STBes.

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

Which paper was it in?

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

The Daily Mail but a Sky spokesman was quoted so it was not entirely fiction!:D

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

Lol :D

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

Could still be fiction ;) Who knows, did they say the name of the quoted person or just "Sky representative" ?

Anwyho, i doubt HDTV will be here fast enough, and even if many people would adopt it due to the high costs involved.

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

It was also mentioned on BBC NEWS 24 thursday morning at about 6.50 am where they were talking about HDTV boxes and saying that the Sky boxes for new customers would not be installed until after the world cup was fin ished but Telewest was OK. I am with NTL and when i phoned customer services they said that there HDTV box would be available in June and that they had been on a training course last month but when an Engineer came he said no way it will appear until the end of the year!!!!!! So who do you believe!!!!!!

Re: Where Is HDTV From ntl.....when?
 

I would imagine that independent installers may be able to install in time for the world cup.
