No extra charge, all included. You may be lucky and get them to run the cable outside the house, they will usually take whatever route is easiest for them. Or as you have wireless, you could keep it next to/behind your new STB.

If you go for the V+ with an additional STB upstairs, they will run a cable for the upstairs anyway, so they could add a splitter and put the cable modem there.

Abs

to be honest they would have to run it upstairs and through the main bedroom through two rooms to get the cable to where my pc is... so I will stick with the router downsairs by the sTB

Re: PVR release dates

as the word spreads, the demand gets higher.

I'm glad I ordered an install at the end of january.

you need to get it done asap for a quicker installation time.

Re: PVR release dates

I love mine, one thing to bear in mind, if like me the installation engineer tells you that the volume controls no longer work then ignore him. All the codes to programme the remote to control the TV volume/mute are in the, Home/Guide > Help and Info > Help with your remote control menu.
Had a couple of problems with the recorded video playback but these are known faults 'apparently';)

Re: PVR release dates

Hi Guys

I am glad to confirm that the mansfield and district are now able to get the V+ box. mine is comming next tuesday.

I have spoken to CS and they have said that the service is going to include sky sports HD, all of the on demand content will be HD. and the usual that are already available and been mentioned in this forum

has anyone else had this information briefed out to them.

Oh ps the install is free and the service is free as long as you have the full package as I have.

I have the familly pack along with sports and movies.

if any of you have the full pack and had a similair or completely different experience having the same package and install please let me know.

You've booked an installation on 08th Feb already, or you can book on 08th Feb for an installation on unspecified date?

When I just rang I told the lady on the phone that it said on the ntl website (on the faq section) that the V+ box is available now! she just said that it wasn`t :dozey: . False advertising? Law suit? Roll on thursday!!:confused:
