It occurs to me though that with the "impending" merger with Telewest, it's possible that ntl might simply wait and take advantage of the Telewest developed and trialled PVR. Telewest are currently trialling their TVDrive PVR...I don't know what technical obstacles might be involved but I'd think that they would be less than trying to develop another box in isolation from scratch.
JoshGrey!

The Telewest PVR would only ever work on half the NTL network (if at all). NTL have been developping their own system in isolation that also does HDTV.
