No, what I am saying is that ntl customers in non Telewest areas do not have any
choice in what HD content they can get from ntl.
ntl customers in non Telewest areas on the other hand have much more choice.
Not irrelevant at all Bob.
The 3 main TV providers in the UK (Sky/ntl/Telewest) all made a seperate business decision regarding how to proceed with an HD TV product.
Sky went for it & improved on a great product (Sky +), they now have a sound product on offer that offers PVR functionality along with HD programmes.
Telewest went for it (albeit not knowing what HD channels they would be able to offer, but the prioity for TV Drive was a PVR), they now have a product on offer that offers PVR functionality, upscaling of SD channels to 720p/1080i, & the ability (now) to watch all World Cup games in HD.
ntl have neither a PVR out nor an HD service.
Do you see the difference between the 3 companies planning now....?
The fact that ntl & TW are now as one is not relevant.
TW saw the future & embraced it.
Sky saw the future & embraced it.
What have ntl done?
No HD box.
No PVR.
Great planning by ntl....
