There were two main reasons that I dropped NTL DTV and chose Sky instead, poor picture quality on NTL and the advances Sky had made with Sky+.

With Sky+ I can now record two different digital channels at the same time using the one box with built in recorder, but need two NTL boxes and two recorders to do the same on NTL.

When will NTL catch up and provide a similar service to Sky+ ?

Maxtor are already working on a system that will provide up to six different video streams from one HDD http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/54/35932.html

Are NTL working on STBs with built in recorders and multiple tuners or can't they produce such a box that runs cool enough to prevent picture breakup?
