Ntl had a pvr in the works when I was there (2003) and the guy responcible is a member of this site.

Ntl shelved the project due to the cost and concentrated on broadband and fixing faults with the existing dtv system.

Now that ntl have started to get the pvr project back on it's feet they have made a hardware choice and this hardware is going to be far superior to anything offered by telewest or sky.

It will have a main stb with pvr hard drive.
It will be HD
It will have 3 tuners.
It will be able to be used with smaller multi room stb's that can either play recordings off the main stb or watch the channels on the main stb.

As far as I read it all of the multi-room stb's could watch,pause stop the same recording just as you could if watching an avi off a pc network.

If ntl can get this out this year and keep the costing done (and it works) they will start to make some inroads into skys domination...
