Re: Is there an NTL PVR?
Having a look at the Telewest TVDrive information it appears that the NTL pricing will be exactly the same as Telewest (as you would expect now they are the same company). We can therefore, assume that these prices are more official than the internal information we are currently discussing.

There is a good price comparison against all the different Sky+ boxes:

There are also some pertinent FAQs to the current discussion:

If you are new to Telewest TV, installation is free. If you are an existing Telewest digital TV customer installation is free if you keep your existing set top box in another room for an additional £5 a month. Otherwise £75 installation fee will apply.

I want a second standard digital box in another room when I take a TVDrive. Is this possible and how much does it cost?
If you take a TVDrive and would like a second standard digital box in another room, this will cost an additional £5 per month.

How long will I have to keep my TVDrive for when I sign up?
TVDrive must be kept for a minimum of 12 months.

How long must I keep my £5 additional box for when I sign up?
The £5 additional box must be kept for a mimium of 12 months in addition to your other services.
So anybody wanting the avoid the £75 installation fee by getting their current box installed as a second box (for £5 per month) will have to pay at least £60 - they would still save £15 though!
