Let's face it, ntl have never really led any market they have been in, they follow where others lead.

The box that ntl were said to use orginally, was best STB Scientific Atlanta had, feature wise.

Their products have always been superior to ntl's-just look at how ntl have now uncapped' the BB to follow Telewest.
Also-let's not forget how ntl were forced to follow Telewest's lead in their BB pricing (when 1 & 2Mb were 1st launched)
And not forgetting ntl upping the speed of their broadband products after Telewest had done it.

Yeah Neil. Thats why Telewest offer a 10/384k service as opposed to ntl's 10/1mbit service. Not forgetting the coming 4mb/400k v TW's 4/384k.
Nuff said really.

The only reason that ntl's PVR/HD box was ditched was because it was inferior to TW's.
Not only that, but the TW box was already out & working.

The only thing an educated opinion what is better about the TW box over the original MPEG-4 box was that it was cheaper. Not so long ago, you were laying into ntl for not using an MPEG-4 box, now you are saying its a good thing!!
