Telewest confirmed to me that is the case earlier today, and I imagine ntl's "exclusive" service will be that way too, as both are provided by FilmFlex.

Re: [Merged] VOD
Big story in The Guardian today on NTL and Telewest's VOD plans - I'd post a link from www.guardian.co.uk but can't access the site at the moment for some reason. Gist is confirmation only initially available to NTLers in Glasgow, Telewesters in Leicester. Also separate story on plans for "super fast broadband benabling cheap calls, speedy downloading and VOD through exisating phone lines", initiated by Bulldog and based on a new ADSL2+ technology. Allegedly 35 times faster than current broadband.

Re: [Merged] VOD
Traditionally the Guardian has spelled 'Bristol' 'Leicester'. Just one of those typos.
Leicester is an NTL area, with no VOD launched as yet.

Re: [Merged] VOD
Wasn't the Playboy deal announced some time ago? I was certainly aware of it before today.
Also, why is this now in General NTL? If anything's a TV service discussion, it's surely Video On Demand...

Re: [Merged] VOD
Looking at it - The whole VOD thread got merged with the playboy news item in General ntl discussion, causing it to join that thread there, I've now moved it back to TV forum area.

No it has never been formally announced until today, only rumours.
