I must admit, as good as the NTL PVR sounds, I dunno if I’m willing to play £10 extra. I’ve already purchased a DVR / HDD recorder which does an excellent job for me.

I was going to wait for NTL to push out their PVR, but a) I didn’t know exactly when it was going to be available, and b) I suspected I would need to pay extra for it. I wanted to enjoy the advantages of digital recording now and so far, I don’t regret my decision, especially with the World Cup coming up.

While my DVR doesn’t have triple digital tuners or MPEG 4/HDTV capability like NTL’s offering, that’s offset by the vast amounts of repeats on various digital channels throughout the week, along with me waiting for the prices of HDTV sets to come down and the arrival of NTL VOD sometime this century.

Who knows? When NTL get the sodding thing out I might be so impressed I'd be willing to pay the extra £££ per month, but right now, I doubt if I'll be getting it.
