PVR release dates

[greekpete]

Channel 108 - who has it and what area are you in?
I had it this morning - then I lost the picture - then i was told I'm not subscribed - Now I'm subscribed again apparantly - but can still only get sound! Is it an intermittent channel or is there something wrong with my subscription?
I can get the one free film on ON DEMAND with a picture but thats it!

Had it - as of last night anyway - did have this problem at first in Glasgow (sound only) but was working fine last night and in lovely 5.1 surround too.

I dont yet have a HDTV(new year before that happens) so will engineer still leave a HDMI cable
If I go for keeping the STB and installing upstairs do I have the same program packs on both or does the upstairs one revert to basic package

Just spoke with NTL CS.

Gave my postcode (Leicester) to a very nice you8ng lady who said that Dec 12th was the programmed launch date.

No booking being taken for TV drive installations until they have that date confirmed.

As soon as they know any more they are flagging definite interested parties accounts to get a call back from them as soon as they are certain of the date.

You might just get the drop on the folks who are waiting for the mailshots.

We shall seeeeeeeee.......

I'm looking forward to getting the TVdrive as I already have an HD TV. I was wondering what lengths the HDMI cables come in. Are they all the same length or can you request a 3 metre one if needed ?

Thanks in advance.

Ons supplied is 1m, don't think they will supply anything else - if you want longer you'll need to buy one - better to replace the HDMI calble anyway with a good quality cable such as QED Qunex HDMI-P - particulary over longer lengths like 3m.

We rang up last week and they said that Belfast people should ring at the beginning of December to order the box.

my earlier post re the missing channels.
I had the engineer round yesterday. After about 20 seconds he found that the card had not been matched to the stb. He made a call and it was sorted after 10 minutes (surely there must have been an easier way to do this??).
Anyway, it all seems to be wording OK now.

I called CS about the costing for PVR and was told "We don't offer one yet"

Given the number of "broken" sky+ boxes - do you think that NTL`s will be that much better?

[mrm1]

Just rang CS and told after doing a post code check, Swindon launches on December the 12th. The lady I spoke to was fully aware of the TVdrive, and had information at hand to tell me all about it and what the cost's were going to be.

Maybe, maybe not. But I do know one thing. If your NTL box breaks (no matter how old it is), NTL will repair or replace it for free.
