First ntl Customers Offered Telewest HDTV

The fruits of one of ntl's on-going mergers (Virgin and ITV are others) is the launch of ntl Telewest's TVDrive, its personal video recorder (PVR), to over 650,000 ntl customers in Glasgow and Teesside today.

The service was launched to Telewest customers earlier this year and will now be rolled-out to all 12 million cable homes by early next year.

The Box has three tuners which means more flexibility than the Sky+ PVR, allowing up to two channels to be recorded whilst watching a third. (Not really a problem yet, but nearing the Xmas scheduling it could become one!)

Ernie Cormier, chief commercial officer of ntl Telewest, said: "TVDrive has been hugely popular with Telewest customers so we are launching to ntl areas as soon as possible. Our combination of TV on demand, HDTV and a personal video recorder is unique in the market.
