Scrub that... A follow-up call to ntl cust serv last week revealed that roll-out has been "delayed" until further notice. I could not order it.

They would not say when the PVR/TV-Drive/V Box or whatever it is called today, will be available in NW Surrey [Groan]

Re: PVR release dates

I give up with CS.
First call said, sorry this hasnt been released anywhere, its only on trial.
Second call said 'Yes its available from tomorrow' ill transfer you so you can book a install date
Third person I spoke to said, sorry, its not getting released on your postcode, its been put back, sometime in March/April.

What's going on here, no one knows when its available.
Im in Stoke on Trent.

** UPDATE **

4th time lucky, spoke to someone that knows what they are talking about. It gets launched in my area tomorrow and ive got a install booked for 31st, this wednesday

Re: PVR release dates

I turned over to Coronation Street tonight from BBC 1 and there was a small box which looked like a menu that had appeared in the top right hand corner. I don't have a TV Drive/V+ Box at the moment so it's not that, but what was it. I had to click on the Back button to go back to seeing a normal TV picture. I'm puzzled.

Re: PVR release dates

It was probably the red-button application on ITV1.

Re: PVR release dates

Hey All,

I live in Bromley, Kent and just ordered an install for the 15th Feb via Customer Services. I asked them to put a phone in as well so I don't know if that helped. I called them on the 23rd but was told they weren't taking orders till mid Feb.

No, it was completely different to when I click on the red button. It was a small box with a programme menu for different channels. I wondered if maybe something was happening with the software but it didn't happen again and nothing else has changed. Thanks for your reply.
