If they are better than my brand new Samsung, then I will want them. Why pay the same for an inferior product? And I do not have to lie to NTL, I will ask my parents to disconect the service and we will only go back only if NTL give us one of the new toys. Simple and straightforward blackmail.

The same happened with the remote control, I told NTL give me one with volume control or disconnect the service. The new remote arrived next day with a plastic bag to send the old one back. Simple blackmail.

I do not have shares in NTL, they have a problem and they have to sort it out. To me, it's a simple financial transaction.

NTL cannot give better toys to the new customers and the old ones are stuck with ancient gadgets, while both pay the same.

I am off to find out what a PVR STB is...
