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...
A PVR STB is a Set Top Box that is also a Personal Video Recorder similar to what Sky have with the Sky+ box.

I am wondering why you chose to give me a red rep for post #85 as you didn't leave a comment. What do you find wrong with that post?

Thinking about it though, your mention of toys explains a lot.
