It may be that NTL have not yet informed SA yet to keep their options open until the last minute.
There was also a rumour that NTL would deploy the MPEG2 PVRs first to early adopters, as it could do that more quickly and the HD bandwidth requirements were low. It could then switch to the MPEG4 PVRs a year or so later when they were cheaper and there was more demand for HD bandwidth.
