Yes, although if you have HDMI enabled, RF will be disabled

2) Does the PVR also act as a cable modem, or would I need to move to a standalone cable modem?

TVDrive customers will use a standalone cable modem.

3) Does the PVR use the same remote codes as the samsung stb? Ie if they were in the same cabinet, would the one remote try to change channels on both boxes (which would be a right pain) - I need to leave both boxes in the living room to take advantage of my coax (i'd rather not have to go out & buy a digisender after putting in all that coax)
|
For many functions, the remote codes are the same - the number buttons, for example. If you're keeping your existing box when having TVDrive installed, the installer will run cable to wherever you want the 2nd box located.

Customers in ex-ntl regions will not see HD content right now. It will be introduced over the next few months but I don't have an exact date.

I know but the line up of channels was correct. I mean on Demand still doesn't work .

Re: PVR release dates
Any hints as to when it can be expected in Andover/Salisbury?
Would be nice if it is this side of Christmas as it will solve no end of arguments about Christmas telly viewing

Re: PVR release dates
Just got my partner to call sales regarding TVDRIVE in Stevenage and they said call back on 14th December as that is when it is availible in the area. Can't wait!! Sounds like the best Crimbo present out there!!
My Samsung TV will be a year old and has been long waitng for a HDTV feed other than XBOX 360 and an upscaled DVD player.
Please ntl:Telewest/Virgin Media don't let the side down.

Re: PVR release dates
Spoke to cs and sales at NTL on Tuesday and they confirmed that the Herts area covered by Luton is going live with PVR on 12th December and to call back at end of November to get added to list for FREE installation, providing existing STB is retained in another room, for just £10 per month extra.

Couldn't you just ask them nicely? Don't see why you have to resort to *n*l sex.
Though I suppose it would be fairly motivational.
