A TV guide that works, recordings that can be set a week in advance, the series link feature (and it even works on programmes like BBC2's Working Lunch which changes time slots and programme lengths over the course of the week!), twenty hours of recording on the internal HDD, pausing live TV.

NTL has *nothing* to compare with any of these and IMO they'd probably bugger up any attempts to introduce them!!
Yes, if you have had Sky+ you wonder how you would cope without it. We have just been away for two and a half weeks and Sky+ has recorded everything we wanted whilst we were away. There was one occasion where 3 programmes that we wanted to record were on at the same time so we had to record two of them on Sky+ and the other on the VCR. The Sky+ recordings were all in perfect broadcast quality but the VCR recording was really inferior. My wife is a big soap fan and watches Neighbours, Home & Away, Family Affairs, Emmerdale, Coronation Street and The Bill. All episodes recorded perfectly whilst we were away together with several other things (upgrading the hard drive is well worth it, 80 hours of recording). Try doing that with NTL.
