Also, this is definitely not something they're working on with NTL. If/when NTL do a PVR box, they'll most likely go with Samsung.
I just hope Telewest do something about the remote between now and the launch. The regular TV one is bad enough, and the PVR one looks even worse...

Scientific Atlanta have been making quality Set top boxes longer than any of the other manufacturers. I was surprised when Pace won the NTL contract when they first started digital. Pace really are bad. The build quality is poor as well. IMHO.
