I guess that the PVR is next years 'Coming Soon' (oh, how I've missed that one since Interactive was released!) for those of us who live in the capital city.

I wonder if we'll get it before or after VOD (which incidentally, we're going to have by Summer 2006 according to NTL's highly accurate and bang up to date web site).

Well done NTL, you really know how to make us all feel wanted.

And ofcourse people are going to hang around waiting while sky HD comes down in price
When is warrington/runcorn area to get them?
No need to hold my breath?

If Sky HD comes down in price then NTL will have to come down in price too so you will not have lost anything!

Re: PVR release dates

On another forum I belong (which is for users of the SW package they have) there has been an in joke for the release of the SW for Pocket PC users (iPAQ etc) which for over 18 months has been its being released on monday.

I myself wont be bothering with a PVR STB as I have a digital box connected to a £450 sony HDD.DVD-/+R, and if NTL do merge with ITV I'm going to think about cancelling my entire NTL package (Phone/STB/BB which doesn't get above 5Mb), As I cannot stand ITV anymore after the cr@p F1 covearge/adverts

Re: PVR release dates

What a great reason to cancel, as you don't like ITV

I though the install dates would be changed. Still a few things they are trying to sort out in Glasgow.

I have had the box a month and VOD only started working last night.

Re: PVR release dates

Rang CS for my own personal amusement. Just to check weather my previous experience of CS being half informed/non informed/hey let's just make **** up morons had changed.

Call 1.
Yeah TV Drive will be available in your area before 21st December. No extra charge. No install charge. (I have only one box)

Call 2.
TV Drive is a product not yet available and won't be for the next few months. Any prices? No.

Haha. No change in CS then. Morons. I don't doubt that further calls would reveal further amusing answers to a simple question.

normally i spring to the defence of CS staff as generally its policy thats the problem but in this case they have no excuse,

the TV drive and info regarding it such as pricing has been on the ntl intranet for weeks if not a month now so they've all had plenty of chance to read it just haven bothered, also for dates it tells you the date on the postcode checker so they can check on there to give a rough idea of the roll out date for a particular area

Called the 0845 number this morning and got installation arranged for next Saturday (in Glasgow area).

Thanks for the heads up folks. Superb.

Cheers

HDTV TO PC Monitor

Lovely to hear the new PVR and HDTV coming to Coventry this December. Unfourtunately I am not able to afford a new HDTV at present so was wondering if the new PVR will have a out-put so I can connect it to the pc HDTV card until I'm in a posistion to upgrade to a new TV. I have a connection to my TV card from by present STB and that works fine. Was thinking of upgrading to new service but wondering if the signal from new PVR will be HD. Also what would be the best card to buy ? Thanks In anticipation.

Re: PVR release dates

AFAIK the TVDrive will only have the PVR aspect for now - HD will be in the new year!
