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

I don't want/can't afford an HD TV & don't intend to buy one unless my present TV goes the way of the DoDo
, So what I need to know is will I still be able to watch the channels I pay for without shelling out for a new TV?

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

yes

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

How long do you reckon that will last before they decide to do what is being done with analogue & force the change on us whether we want it or not?

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

Which channels?

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

when HD does finally roll out (regardless of who or how you get it) the Biggest problem what brand / size TV do you go for (I've see TV advertised a HD ready when there no HDMI or other type of connectors).

Then theres the recorder, I don't know ant out there, other than Blue-ray & HD DVD and these are very expensive.

like Somebody posted here I'll wait till my TV dies the worry about it.

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

Not if they cannot get hold of the HD STB!

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

put it this way the digital swichover is not going to be finished at least till 2012 so it will be along time before hdtv will be norm for everyone.

Telewest scores HDTV deal for World Cup

Telewest is offering its TV viewers the chance to watch the World Cup in glorious high definition (HD) clarity following an agreement with ITV and the BBC.

As well as the footy, Telewest customers with a TVDrive - the cableco's HD-ready personal video recorder - can also see other shows including Planet Earth, The Proms, and a new wildlife series Jean-Michel Cousteau?s Ocean Adventures following the deal.

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

What a crock... so, those of us on NTL are left with no HDTV for the world cup, and no timeline for HDTV for the future.

Meh.. if I wasn't living in a flat that couldn't have a Sky dish, I'd be booking my Sky HD installation right now.

Not that you would get it before the Wold Cup! :(

The headline is a little misleading really... it should be Sky fail to reach HDTV deal with ITV

No ITV HD for Sky. So if you want the FULL HD World Cup service, your only option is Telewest :)

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

Well that is interesting. I can't wait to see how Neil spins it in Sky's favour ;)

Remember: if you want to watch all of the World Cup in HD, your only option is NTL*. End of.

(* although you do have to be living in an area previously serviced by Telewest)

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

No spin from me. :)

But (as I predicted a while back) ntl are (again) subjecting some of their customer base to the 'poor relative' scenario.

It's a great coup that TW customers will be able to watch ITV HD stuff, but what about ntl customers??

It just smells of the old ntl/ex Cable & Wireless areas in the early days. :td:

And that ^^ is the important part-how many TW customers will be able to receive this, as opposed to how many ntl customers won't?

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

So, the part of this post you made where it says isn't quite accurate, is it... :dozey:

Of course, you could totally ignore that fact that you posted incorrect 'facts' and just bleat on about 'poor relations' within ntl. :shrug:

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

It was accurate at the time. :dozey:

You could also state that the facts that I stated were indeed facts at the time I posted them, the situation has since changed-but don't let that get in the way of having a dig at me will you?

So-how would you describe ntl customers in non Telewest areas that won't be able to get ITV HD?


[Edit]-If ntl had pulled their finger out regarding HDTV, then all of their current customer base would have the option of watching ITVHD.

As it is, they didn't pull their finger out so only customers who live in TW areas will be able to watch ITV HD. :td:

Sky saw the HD era coming & approached it with open arms.

TW saw the HD era coming & embraced it with new STBs.

ntl saw the HD era coming & ignored it to the detriment of most of their customer base.

Way to go ntl.....:rolleyes:
