I'm looking forward to getting the new NTL PVR and HD as soon as it is readily available. I presume that there will be a mad rush at the beginning but as I am not getting my new HD plasma TV until March 2007 hopefully things will have calmed down a little.
Something that concerns me though is the comments made in various forums regarding the availability of HD programmes for viewing. I assumed that if your NTL subscription included the movie channels you would automatically be able to view their HD programmes (except maybe the SKY Movies 10 HD Channel which isn't on NTL).
Is this true and if so what would be the incentive to subscribe to NTL HD if only ITV & BBC HD was available? I appreciate that the PVR with 3 digital tuners and HDD recording is a nice touch but is that enough to get someone to subscribe to HD?

Also, existing customers can waive the Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£75.00 installation charge by keeping their box and using in another room for Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£5 pcm but what if you already have a second box that you are paying Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£15pcm for? Can you cancel that one and save Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£10pcm or do you have to have a third STB you might not need?
