I'd really like some kind of official confirmation about ntl dropping the mpeg4 boxes before i believe that story. So far all i've found on the web is some dodgy blogg that somebodys written - hardly official. NTL had already ordered the boxes so why bother dropping them ? It makes no sense at all.
What I see as a more likely version of the story is that NTL will release the MPEG2 PVR to keep customers happy until the MPEG4 PVR is ready.
