Re: PVR release dates
This is the feature that I'm looking forward to (as with my present STB & HD recorder setup, I can only set up recordings 2-3 days in advance, which is no good when I go out of the country for a week!).

Good pics, thanks for the info.

Re: PVR release dates
It's not, same as all the other boxes (and most consumer STBs it seems!)

FWIW I just phoned NTL customer services. They said that the TVDrive would be available in my postcode (NW6) on 23 January.
Pinch of salt required but at least they could give a definite date...

Re: PVR release dates
I phoned up NTL sales and asked when the TVDrive would be released in the Dorset region. I was told by a lady that they had no official date but she'd heard it would be the middle of next month.

Re: PVR release dates
I'm in NW6 too and didn't manage to get anything out of them! I'm planning on coming over from Homechoice so it's good to know a date so I can plan giving HC my 30 days notice to cancel my contract!

Re: PVR release dates
When I called up last week I was told that based on my postcode (GU51 - North East Hampshire) Dec 12th was the roll out date in my area.
I was also told that they were not yet taking bookings, but that the letter/info pages were at the printers and I should expect a letter fairly soon.
I'll try ringing again at the start of Dec.

Re: PVR release dates
I phoned sales tonight after I got a TV Drive leaflet in the post today and I'm booked for the 28th. One thing I found odd was that they could relocate the current box for an extra £5 a month or take the box away and I pay the £75 installation fee. Being in a 1-bedroom flat I've decided to get rid of the old Pace box.

Re: PVR release dates
Purely cosmetic question - does the PVR display the time on the front at all anywhere or is it just the channel number ?

Re: PVR release dates
The time is displayed on the front panel if the PVR is in standby mode.

Re: PVR release dates
Excellent - thanks 
Better than my NTL/Tivo combi and my Thommo DHD4000, none of which have clocks (luckily my rarely used Sony DVD recorder does)
