There is due to be a PVR next year if ntl investors presentation is anything to go by.

It seems quite accurate as it mentions, CR3, Speed Upgrades, MR2, New Interactive Portal, VOD, PVR and Metered Broadband over the next 6 months, give or take a 6 month delay here and there. Presumably a PVR would want to work in co-operation with VOD Creating a home media centre type environment, Where you could stream and record.

They are also trialing Broadband TV which has the potential to make Interactive Television much more entertaining running from the server allowing for Flash, Video and Audio all to be streamed to the STB, blowing away anything Sky could hope to offer.
