ntl choice of vod over pvr is about revenue not customer choice.

I'm sure they think that vod is an instant cash cow. In every home and one click they have some cash. Even the most naive ntl customer will soon realise vod costs serious money. Your monthly bill can double with just moderate use. This will give a good product a negative image.This may turn vod into a dead cow.

Pvr requires investment and pay back will long term.

With sky+ coming upto 900,000 users and freeview pvr costing less than
4 months ntl subs time is running out for ntl.

We customers need a firm time scale for cable pvr.

As pvr gains notice, the average Mr J Public will feel unhappy with his ntl services and may leave.
