Re: Is there an NTL PVR?
I'm confused, on two counts.

Firstly, why are people getting so het-up about pricing that hasn't even been confirmed yet?

And secondly, the new box is a very sophisticated bit of electronics that costs NTL a lot to buy, and has (we imagine!) taken umpteen hours of engineers' time to get working. It provides you with a significantly upgraded TV service. While like everyone else, I want to pay as little as possible, I find it difficult to argue with the principle of NTL charging more for an upgraded service.

(And it's no good comparing this to vanilla Sky Plus -- remember that you're getting a box that's the equivalent of Sky Plus HD. For that, Sky charge £200 for the box, plus a tenner a month extra no matter what other package you have.)
