Sitting here in upstate NY watching a VOD PPV movie (i had the choice to buy it in widescreen or p&S too), surfing the net, making a VOIP "Digital Telephone" call and recording the Disney channel onto the HDD PVR. All running down the bandwidth on the HFC copper cable.
Digital Telephone is how the Cablecos in the US have moved to triple play. NTL don't even need to go there, but if they chose to do so they can take advantage of enhanced CLID which database lookups the incoming number and sends the name and number to the handset.

On top of this you can call up for a free upgrade to HDTV reception.

I'll try to remember to take some photos of the SACM+Digital Phone and the PVR/Menus etc to post later.

Really, the future is cable and the speed NTL are moving to have the services I see here is accellerating at a pace.
I forgot to add the Coax digital audio output on the back of the STB, plug it into your surround sound and get digital surround sound (on channels where broadcast).
