ntl did have a HD product in the pipeline very much pre-merger!

The new HD PVR, introduced at IBC 2005, will enable ntl to take advantage of the bandwidth maximization and video storage benefits of MPEG-4 part 10/H.264 compression as it launches high-definition (HD) television and personal video recorder services.

ntl's MPEG4 PVR was already on trial before the merger but these trials were suspended by the ex-Telewest CTO post-merger.
