Re: Dual recordings
But... NTL and Telewest are both moving down a path that takes them to the same basic platform. This would mean that between them they have access to potentially 40-50% of the sky plus customer base. That and falling prices leading to this becoming standard technology.

The cable box is already availible in the US market.

Proppin (i think - being as I have been getting Debsy Incog and Kink mixed up I would not bet on this) has pointed out this would need tweaking for a EU market, power supply, Pal vs NTSC and probably the biggest stumbling block the software, which seems to be a problem with NTL in general.

I've used the cable future on Time Warner Cable and its fab. Time Warner Cable also let other ISPs use their local loop, like BT do with DSL. What a clever idea!
