This bit has been added today to the interview:
Quote:
In the above HEXUS.community forum thread relating to this interview, the question was asked, post-publication, why NTL won't be introducing HD until 2007?
We emailed that question to Mark Horley who responded saying,
MH: The main reason why NTL customers won't see HD at the same time as Telewest customers is because the box that supports HD - the TVDrive box - will not be launching on the NTL side until end of 2006/early 2007. There is a huge amount of work to be done to make sure that this box and the code that resides on it can interface with all the NTL back-end systems. As always when launching new products, we will be conducting exhaustive user testing to ensure that it is a good-quality customer experience.

So that's confirmation from the horse's mouth that ntl: will indeed be introducing the TW TVDrive box and not the original MPEG-4 Explorer 8450 PVR announced before the merger.
