does anyone else have any more roll out dates for this?

Wales is apparently going ahead as planned.

Manchester/Baguely was high on the list but is delayed indefinately.

Other areas are still being surveyed and planned but there will be no actual work done that costs capitol expenditure.

Perhaps someone here can confirm or deny this info coming out of ntl via the VOD team yesterday?

PS: I see no reason to disbelieve this info, my info last week about this weeks announcement was spot on! All I say is I am passing it on in good faith and dont expect to be shouted at if it did prove to be wrong.

Sorry I was quickly reading it and misread.

Apologies

I can confirm that Baguley is spelled 'Baguley'.

I have never made claims to know what ntl's VOD is like (unlike you & TW's "brilliant" PVR service)

I made claims about the PVR service on the say so of some people (friends) I know working for Telewest over in Liverpool.

What rubbish, you have made claims and I quote

People can't moan about something if they don't know they've got it & that it doesn't work anyway!!

At least my comments on Telewests PRV were not completely unfounded.

I haven't written it off at all, as I said above I think it's a good thing, & trialling it in one area (as opposed to thw whole country) is also a wise move IMO.

Not sure why you think I'm writing it off.....

I suggest you read back what you wrote

No-what you said was....

The picture quality on Telewest is also must better as I personally dont think Amstrad boxes give good pic quality.

You didn't mention (until I questioned you on what evidence you had to support your post), when you then said....

Which is very different from your opening comments of "There is a couple of working PVR boxes on Telewest, they are absolutely brilliant" I think you'll agree.

Yeah ok, whatever.

I don't need to, what I said was tongue in cheek, why don't you re-read it?

I would like you to explain to me how is it any different? I never said I had one of the working boxes, all I said was "there is a couple of working PVR boxes".

I don't need to, what I said was tongue in cheek, why don't you re-read it?

Ok I have read it .... People can't moan about something if they don't know they've got it & that it doesn't work anyway!!

I thought you had gone away from your old way of just slagging ntl for the sake of it. You would not think you were 36 years old the way you act, you like a spoilt child who doesnt get his own way.

I don't see you giving off topic to Neil when he replied do I.

You day about people trying to score points all the time, I suggest you look in the mirror and read what you just said.

Assuming it doesn't all collapse in a heap they will get information about the new service through the door. (probably)

I posed the question because nobody had posted that they had recieved information from NTL regarding VOD. How likely is it that anyone would press the "On Demand" button if they didn't know anything about VOD. I would imagine that customers try out every button on the remote when they first get cable DTV and if nothing happens when they press a particular button they are unlikely to press it again. I can see that someone in NTL will be rubbing their hands with glee in a weeks time when they have looked at the first week of VOD and there has been no problems reported when using it. Will that problem free week be because there are no problems or because nobody knows about it and has tried using it?

Thanks.

A good point, & one I was trying to make earlier.

You make me laugh!! Its a shame you think that way, I know people who worked with you at NTL and have all called you a ******.

People might disagree with what I say about you but I think its just pathetic. Still moaning every single end and turn about ntl, I think you are the one who needs the dummy not me.

I think this comment is just about right for you.

When one door closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door, that we do not see the one which has opened for us.
