yes it was published in a SON, i have looked through it carefully and not once does it say keep this info to yourself until further notice so i can assume the only reason they are telling us this now is because it is ready to be launched and they want customers to know about it

Re: Is there an NTL PVR?
When they want customers to know about it they will advertise it. That info was meant for internal use only.

Relax ... this is hardly the first leak we've had on CF. It's nice to get an exclusive once in a while.

I am relaxed. I did actually post the expected times for release a page or so back in the thread 
Just that amount of info was just for staff. He could have just posted the prices and left it at that.
I might even have one already

If you have two set-top boxes already, and want to change one to the PVR - then I guess from this, it's going to cost the £75.00 call out fee.
But presumably then, there's nothing to stop me cancelling one set top box, and the next day - asking for PVR and an "additional" set top box which avoids the £75 fee, which is unpaletable?

Re: Is there an NTL PVR?
On NTHell a poster ( here) stated that, if one had both Sky Sports and Movies, there would be no monthly fee...if this is the case then it would really make upgrading worthwhile...

Re: Is there an NTL PVR?
On the news article on cable forum, it states that you can only have one tvdrive per household.
Why is that for? If you are willing to pay an additional stb fee for it, why not?

You could have left out the bit mentioning the new STB software that will be with the box.

Re: Is there an NTL PVR?
I was looking forward to having both my house boxes as TVDrives and was quite willing to have this at a premium price.
Guess supply of boxes is going to be a hugh concern (4 years of waiting will do that to you!!!! ) Where's Neil when you want the anti-ntl voice????

Re: Is there an NTL PVR?
Sorry but what a load of ***** this is. We have two boxes already and nowhere else to put one if we want to change one, there is no way am I paying £75 for an engineer to come out and swap a cable around and plug the thing in! And no more than one?!?!? sod it i was waiting for this to come from NTL but this has done it now, looks like a dvd recorder is the better option. Thumbs up to NTL for thier naffness as usual :-D
