Re: Is there an NTL PVR?

just got some info on this, not sure if its been posted before, please can someone delete it if it has

There's no one-off cost to get the box. There are a few different prices for
TVDrive, but you won't need to commit them to memory straight away, you'll
get trained on all the details before the launch.

Monthly subscription costs
* Customers taking Family Pack will pay only £10 per month for their
TVDrive subscription
* Customers on Free TV, Select Pack or Base Pack will pay £15 per
month for TVDrive
* TVDrive is not available with any analogue service

Second boxes
* Customers with a TVDrive can take a second set top box for just £5
extra per month - bargain!
* There's no option to take two TVDrive boxes on one account

New digital TV customers
* TVDrive installation is free to all new digital TV customers, this
includes:
o brand new customers installed for the first
time
o existing customers taking digital TV as a
new service
o analogue customers migrating to digital

Existing digital TV customers
* Existing digital TV customers swapping their normal STB for a
TVDrive will pay a £75 call out fee
* However, if the customer keeps their normal STB as a second service
for £5 a month, they get the TVDrive installed for free


How does TVDrive differ to On Demand?

TVDrive is a clever video recorder - it lets you record programmes that are
broadcast on your digital TV service and lets you pause and rewind live TV.

On Demand is a huge library of programmes, music videos and movies that that
can be accessed at any time simply by pressing the On Demand button on your
remote. You don't have to record anything - the programmes are available
when you are. Sky and Freeview can't offer the same service, because they
don't have a state-of-the-art cable that can deliver digital TV right into
people's homes like we have.


Will On Demand be the same with TVDrive?

No, but we think it's going to be even better. The new code (UK1) that comes
with TVDrive means that there will be some differences to the way the On
Demand service works. Eventually On Demand will change for everyone, but
for the time being you only need to know about it for TVDrive customers.
