NTL and Telewest confirm PVRs in 2005
 

Taken from this post at Digitalspy:

http://www.ntl.com/locales/gb/en/inv...-Final-UBS.pdf

http://media.corporate-ir.net/media_...UBS_061204.pdf

These are presentations by the CEOs of NTL and Telewest respectively, and confirm that both will be launching VOD and PVRs in the second half of 2005.

Page 15 of the second link even gives a picture of the Telewest PVR box, along with some specs.

With only 3 weeks of 2004 left, when are they going to relaunch interactive and teh new bundles?

All the new products topics referring to these documents have now been merged here. :)

Hmm, do you think the actual bb upgrades classified as bundles launch or metered bb? Or just the bb is metered at metered?

Re: NTL to retain 300k Broadband?
 

I think ntl: is likely to use Samsung to provide their PVR, heres an old .pdf document giving specs on the Samsung SMT-3100C looks similiar to the SMT-2100C ntl currently use

http://www.itelco-usa.com/download/samsung.pdf - look at page 16

Looks to me that metered BB is a new product to attract customers who would normally choose PAYG.
IF SO.... it could be attractive to people who normally access one of the free 56Kbs services by offering BB speeds with no monthly fixed payment. When the time comes that the person wants to switch to a monthly fixed price product they are more than likely going to choose NTL as they already have the equipment installed, good marketing ploy, if it works...

Or better still, NTL+Tivo.

If ntl have any sense at all, and if there is a god, then they'll give us a box with two tuners based on Tivo series 2. All other PVRs aren't fit to use that name ;-)

'Metered BB'
 

Or....could this be the system where you could accelerate your bb for x amount per hour?

Re: Ntl +
 

They are going one better and having three tuners. :)

Re: Ntl +
 

I can see that the Telewest box (according to the linked pdf) has three tuners; are you saying that the ntl one will too because it will be the same box due to the upcoming merger that's being talked about. Or are you just guessing?

Re: [Merged] NTL new products for 2005
 

Yes ;)

Re: [Merged] NTL new products for 2005
 

That Telewest PVR box looks great. I want one.

Re: [Merged] NTL new products for 2005
 

looks like sky+ will soon be having something chasing its tail!

excellent news as this hopefully means NTL will be competing with SKY and no doubt good competition will mean SKY might drop their PVR subscription costs.
