How did you manage to get one?

Re: PVR release dates
I don't see Hertfordshire on the list either - hubby keeps on nagging to get Sky + but I'm trying to talk him into staying with ntl as the nex box is "coming soon"

Re: PVR release dates
I hear Glasgow and Teeside customers will be able to get the TV Drive from the 14th Nov, but only on a limited trial full rollout will be early 07.

Re: PVR release dates
Next Tuesday 14th seems to be the official launch date in ntl's Glasgow (and Teeside) areas but they are taking pre-orders from this week. £75 to replace existing STB or £5 per month to relocate existing box upstairs - with £10 subscription in addition to family pack.

Re: PVR release dates
Hmm, that's the date I was given for Guildford. I guess i wont hold my breath if it's only being rolled out in the trial areas on the 14th!

Re: PVR release dates
The plan is to roll out to a certain amount of customers then have a full release after a month or so.
It is still being tested by staff at the moment to make sure there aren't any problems with the box and new software.

Re: PVR release dates
On the Telewest forums they are awaiting a new "code drop" for the TV Drive. Will the ntl TV Drives come with the new software preinstalled or will they eventually be updated along with the units on the Telewest cable network later this month?

Re: PVR release dates
Ntl's Version of the TV Drive has a new software code which is an altered version of the Telewest epg. This is what is being tested on the Box to iron out all the kinks.
The lastest version should be on the TV Drives when they are installed or will be downloaded once the box has been installed.

That's quite correct sir, i spoke to some guy on the phone about getting this installed and he said he needs to get his supervisior because it wouldn't let him add the thing, so 3 mins later he said the system hasn't been upgraded so that's why they can't add the install.
So i don't see how people are getting this installed on friday when they said it wont be installed till after the 14th.
PS
I've to get a callback tomorrow to book my tv drive.
