Contrast this to how the TVdrive was launched by Telewest..

We registered interest in it when it arrived.

Soon after they phoned people up asking if they were interested in testing the box, free installation and half price rental £5pm for 6 months during the test phase. Maybe it was different back then (less internet = less people interested) but id did seem to be handled much better.

Seems a bit of a cheek to me to asking for £149 for an product still in development.

You can argue if you like but having seen the list of things yet to be implemented to say this box still isn't in beta is a joke. It's not even at release candidate stage for the people who have it. The beta team appear to be more like alpha testers.
