Just got NTL box installed and after hearing about VOD i am shocked to find PAY per View FOR BBC PROGRAMMING. not all BBC programmes are free on NTL. The picture quality as exactly the same as SKY. even got the same blocky effects on channels .
Most of the interactive features on channels carried by NTL are lost, those that are there are stupidly slow. cant change the match/ show any more.
The only time you should lose pictures on sky is during lightning strikes if you lose picture before that your dish is to small or out of alinement.

The features of skys EPG are alot better than NTLs ,8 day guilde, series link, A-z listing.

I havent used Telewest TV drive yet. i got a time slip dvd recorder instead .
also why do NTL get away with charging for channels which sky include for the same price.
