I don't want to read through 40 pages, so just in case not yet mentioned, STOCKPORT installs now available. Mine has been booked for 10th Feb.

[jss42]

For anyone that is interested, I've just got it booked for installation in 3 weeks in Reading.

£10pm extra for TVDrive (I have the family pack)
£5pm extra to keep the second box
No installation fee

I've just phoned up NTL and explained that a lot of people are preordering the TVDrive. My postcode is in Dorset. The gentleman said they are still only trialling it in 3 areas (up North, sorry can't remember which). He stated that customer services release date details are not being updated as regularly as they should be and that customer services should definitely not be prebooking. He reckoned that by mid February they would have a better idea of what is going in.

But why would they need to run a trial of the V box?
The V box is the same as Telewest's TV drive apart from logos and colour.
The only difference is in the code (and that is being downloaded to Telewest's hardware this week) so perhaps it's this that they're trialling.
The boxes are out there and available from Feb 1st onwards.

A couple of questions from a first timer -

Does anyone know what format the box drives - 720p/1080i/1080p?

Does the box have an HDMI connection?

And what are the chances of any HD content in the near future?

I am hovering over the buy button for a SKY +HD box!

The box will output in 720p or 1080i

Yes it has HDMI and Component.

At the mo there is only the BBC HD channel, but hopefully there will be more channels added soon.

TV Drive is cheaper than Sky HD and can off course record 2 channels while watching a 3rd

[grabbi]

well, your selling that! lol

I'm getting impatient now.

I'm in for the 3rd Feb, but I want it now! lol

I keep hearing better and better things about it, and I have 7 days to wait.

I have heard that the waiting list is now 3 weeks or so, but the possibility of DVI connection and the basic picture improvement, the recording functions, the fact the Mrs. is watching American Idol and I hate the program, so the multiroom option will be there for me to watch WWE or Football...

Still waiting for Bravo2 on the platform, but I have to wait till about the 14th, so I am told...

[quadplay]

Then I've got good news. If all goes well, you can expect Bravo 2 about two weeks sooner than the 14th.
