....the ntl box could reorder the channels to where you wanted, but it wouldn't let you renumber them. I did ask for this option, but was told no.

The thing about "progress" is 20 years ago I could record whatever I wanted onto tapes or dvds before pvrs. I could carry the tapes anywhere I wanted and play them wherever there was a machine.

These days you are stuck with a cable pvr which you have no choice to decide what make and model you want. Once its filled up, mine was after about a month of use, there is no ability to archive the recordings onto computer hard disks or dvds.

Hence I am stuck with a box that I cannot use and if I could, its too slow and difficult finding channels, changing channels etc anyway.

But hey yes, all in the name of "progress"...
