Perhaps, when you take the picture, you ought to zoom in on the small print a little more  |
I already know what you're saying, but I was looking at it from a mis selling point of view.
With regard zooming in on the picture, it was not an official type of wording in the " requires no phone " it looked as if the guy had just got a piece of everyday card and written on it in green marker, and I was close enough not to need the zoom so defo no small print.

On the second point, I'm willing to raise you to £50 to charity, that NTL will have a PVR service before Sky has a BB service, or should that be a proper VOD service? The reason, Sky should be quicker to market with HD as they only have to change what they uplink from one head end to the Astra sat, PVR requires funamentally more work than that. |
Sorry bud, the bet was over pvr vs hd television, not broadband.
Certain people here seem very confident that pvr will be rolled out to everyone quite soon, sky are saying they will be putting out hd next year, regardless of infrastructure required my offer is still there, £10 that ntl will not have pvr rolled out to all customers before sky put out HD.
If NTL pull it off I will gladly give a tenner to cancer research, anyone else ?
