This is something I considered as a possible option for NTL and Telewest - although those packages are probably some way off

And just to add a bit more into the mix, all the above assumes that the Telewest PVR and Sky Plus are equal. This is not the case -- the cable version is more in line with what a future HD-enabled Sky Plus box would look like. Such a box would naturally cost Sky more, and Sky Plus users would expect to pay a further premium for its facilities.
It's all still open!!

This is something that is putting me off Sky+. I tried it the other day in my local Comet and I have to say that its impressive. However, I'm not overly keen on buying the box outright at the moment simple because it will be obselete next year when Sky launch their HD service. So imagine forking out £100 for a Sky+ box or a 160GB one at a couple of hundred. I wouldn't be too happy if Sky then launched a range of new HD-enabled PVRs and expected me to pay for the newer model.
I would hope that Sky have already thought of this and as an incentive to move to their new HDTV Sky+ box, they would give you money off a new box for trading in an older Sky+ box without the HDTV capabilities.
I am interested to see how both Telewest and NTL go about this
