Yep I agree. Time is fast running out.

Personally I have less and less time these days to watch scheduled TV and with a baby on the way in April I will have even less chance to catch broadcast programming. I need a PVR and quick.

Not only are NTL at risk of losing to Sky+ and Freview PVR systems, we have just round the corner Xbox 360 Windows Media Centre and no doubt downloadable premium content. You already have the likes of Apple in the frame for delivering content and with Bill Gates vision of a future where all media is downloaded or streamed from the net it's not going to be long before it's a reality. (it already is a reality if you count illegal downloading).

So long and short is, it better be first half 2006 and not end 2006/2007.

I would also like to make a plea on the pricing. Please let it be an option for those on base pack. I don't want to have to buy movies or sport premium channels to get a PVR service.
