Ntl Hd

I actually cant believe it im on the phone to ntl right now and i am in process of ordering tv drive from ntl, free box (unlike sky who charge £299) and they're going to move my exisiting box to another room and all for only an extra £15 a month. I only phoned to ask when it will be available and they have just confirmed they will be coming on 25th jan.

Re: Ntl Hd

I think you have to pay an extra £5 a month for moving the old box to another room, and then £10 a month for the HD service. Total £15 extra.

Up to you, price wise as of February 1st (with new names in brackets)

1. TvDrive (V+) £10 if on Family (XL) [or £15 if on anyone other package]
+ one of your stb's (V Box's) at £5
and the other stb (V Box) at £9.50 [used to be £15]

2. Same as above, but means one more charge of £9.50

Is it worth getting NTL TV Drive?

I was going to order NTL TV Drive. But I am a little unsure about the prices. At the moment I have:

1x Family Pack - £19.50
2x Standard Boxes - £30.00 (£15 each)
1x Free Standard Box - £0.00
Total - £49.50 (per month)

Now TWO of the standard boxes are running on HD READY LCD TV's, and one on a CRT. Now is it worth me getting 2 NTL TV Drive boxes (or 1 if 2 isnt possible)? All I know is that you pay an extra £10 per month and a £75 installation fee and they take the old box away, does that mean it will cost me £25 per month or only £10 per month for TV Drive.

Or should I cancel two of my standard boxes and get 2 TV Drives and choose the different route and have them transfer the two boxes to the other room again for only £5 per month and no installation charge? You see I am very confused about the pricing, can someone please help me out

Thanks.

Edit: OK, that was weird, my thread was moved into this post instead.

Re: Ntl Hd

I think you can only get 1 TV drive at the moment - if you replace one standard box with the TV drive from what I understand the TV Drive will cost £10 - 1 stb £5.00 & the other £9.50 so you should be saving £5.50 a month if my maths are correct

Re: Ntl Hd

OK, that sounds good. So I would be getting:

1x Family Pack - £19.50
1x Standard Box - £9.50
1x Standard Box - £5.00
1x TV Drive - £10.00
Total - £44.00

That sounds very good, but I thought that the standard boxes cost £15 per month not £9.50, maybe I am wrong. But I definaletly pay £30 a month for two boxes and one free atm.

Re: Ntl Hd

I know that one additional set-top box is £5, 'm not sure about any more on the same account?
