This is disapointing news if it's true. I'm not really bothered about the HDTV side of things, but did like the idea of the Scientific Atlanta 3 tuner PVR, and have been hanging fire on buying a hard drive dvd recorder on the basis of the announcement last year that they were bringing a PVR out, and looking at Scientific Atlantas demo page of it.

If it's not going to have that functionality, then I may as well just go and buy my own HDD PVR after all. The plus side of the ntl one was that I imagine the EPG would be linked in, so making setting up recordings easier y just selecting the programme from the EPG.

Also the ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£25 a month extra someone mentioned earlier in the thread would be a no go for me, I'd just buy a standalone HDD PVR. I wouldn't mind a one off fee to upgrade to the newer box, and the subscription fee stays the same (which I think is what was trying to be said earlier in the thread).

I wish ntl would make an up to date announcement one way or the other. We often wait for new things to come out, but youv'e got to draw the line somewhere.
