Talking Sky + for ntl??

Can anyone confirm the comment that was made by one of the staff at NTL today. I phoned them with regards to cancelling my services (over £100 per month), one of the reasons I gave was that I was mising all my favourite programs due to them being on at the same time. I informed them that SKy+ was my obvious choice.

Not phased by this the representative informed me that NTL will be doing something similar within the next 2 months, however it will be a chargable service, i.e. small fee for each program you record.

Is this true?? Has anyone heard the same?? Do I need to move to Sky+??

Thanks in advance!

Re: SKY + for NTL??

Sounds like the normal CS-BSâ ¾Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¢ to me.

What you should have done was taken the person's name & extension number, & asked them to supply you details of the 'service'

AFAIK, only Telewest are planning a Sky + style PVR (personal video recorder)

to the site though.

NB-I wonder if the person you spke to was referring to VOD (Video oon Demand) for your area by mistake?

Get a life and realise there's more to it than TV. You will not regret it.

Re: Sky + for ntl??

With the news that Telewest & NTl are close to merging this might not be so unbeliveable (execpt 2 months though, more like 2 years .)

Will it support High Definition TV though

Can't find the link at the mo, but IIRC NTL did say in their annual report that they would be launching a PVR service (seperate from, but integrated with VOD) toward the end of this year.

Probably not.... but I do find it astounding how much importance some people seem to put on tv services...
