Re: PVR release dates
 

If Sky HD comes down in price then NTL will have to come down in price too so you will not have lost anything!

Re: PVR release dates
 

On another forum I belong (which is for users of the SW package they have) there has been an in joke for the release of the SW for Pocket PC users (iPAQ etc) which for over 18 months has been its being released on monday.

I myself wont be bothering with a PVR STB as I have a digital box connected to a £450 sony HDD.DVD-/+R, and if NTL do merge with ITV I'm going to think about cancelling my entire NTL package (Phone/STB/BB which doesn't get above 5Mb), As I cannot stand ITV anymore after the cr@p F1 covearge/adverts

Re: PVR release dates
 

What a great reason to cancel, as you don't like ITV:rolleyes:

Re: PVR release dates
 

I feel the same after the demise of Bernievision but I digress...

Install moved from today to next Tuesday along with the rest of the Glasgow early adopters.

Re: PVR release dates
 

I though the install dates would be changed. Still a few things they are trying to sort out in Glasgow.

I have had the box a month and VOD only started working last night.

Rang CS for my own personal amusement. Just to check weather my previous experience of CS being half informed/non informed/hey let's just make **** up morons had changed.

Call 1.
Yeah TV Drive will be available in your area before 21st December. No extra charge. No install charge. (I have only one box)

Call 2.
TV Drive is a product not yet available and won't be for the next few months. Any prices? No.

Haha. No change in CS then. Morons. I don't doubt that further calls would reveal further amusing answers to a simple question.

Re: PVR release dates
 

normally i spring to the defence of CS staff as generally its policy thats the problem but in this case they have no excuse,

the TV drive and info regarding it such as pricing has been on the ntl intranet for weeks if not a month now so they've all had plenty of chance to read it just haven bothered, also for dates it tells you the date on the postcode checker so they can check on there to give a rough idea of the roll out date for a particular area

Re: PVR release dates
 

TV Drive will be in the Wirral Area for Jan 07.

Re: PVR release dates
 

Installs and service start there training next week for our aera :tu:

Re: PVR release dates
 

Called the 0845 number this morning and got installation arranged for next Saturday (in Glasgow area).

Thanks for the heads up folks. Superb.

Cheers

Only two days to go, god i'm so excited i could wee myself.

Roll on tuesday

HDTV TO PC Monitor
 

Lovely to hear the new PVR and HDTV coming to Coventry this December. Unfourtunately I am not able to afford a new HDTV at present so was wondering if the new PVR will have a out-put so I can connect it to the pc HDTV card until I'm in a posistion to upgrade to a new TV. I have a connection to my TV card from by present STB and that works fine. Was thinking of upgrading to new service but wondering if the signal from new PVR will be HD. Also what would be the best card to buy ? Thanks In anticipation.

Re: PVR release dates
 

AFAIK the TVDrive will only have the PVR aspect for now - HD will be in the new year!
