Well from tommorrow Telewest launch their competition for sky + TVDRIVE and it is the dogs bollocks

No massive upfront fee for the box like sky instead its just a monthly fee (£10 - £15 dependant on which TV package you have) for the service

180gb standard box (80 hours standard Tv or 40 hours HDTV) which allows 2 programmes to be recorded whilst watching (and recording) a 3rd.

The overall service is a lot faster as a result of having the new box so the menus pop up on the spot instead of the delay like you used to get.

If anyone wants it PM me and we'll talk business

they should spend their money on making my broadband faster instead


i actually downloaded something at 496kb/s this morning but now its running at its usual 50kb/s

You are so bitter about your Broadband

I would be if I was paying X for a service that runs 10x slower than it should do.

Si what is it you are using to download things?

Bought a new house last August in an area without Telewest. Would have kept it on without a doubt but had to get Sky digital & BT Broadband in instead.

Get a lot more channels for your money mind, but a lot of them are shit.

Firefox
Internet Explorer



it affects everyone in my house though and i have tried with/without the router etc


its definitely the line as the speed is dependent on the time of day

you'll go around in circles trying to prove your point/get anything done about it....

telewest will fuck it up, every time they bring a new feature out for their TV system it takes them months to get it working as it shud

Not this time.

We were piloting this when sky launched Sky + but we delayed the release till we were certain it worked properly.

i'm well happy with the serive telewest supply, i've never had any problems with them, and my internet is fast as fuck

Gettin this today

Hopefully this will force sky to offer their Sky+Hd boxes for free as well now !!!

i doubt it! £300 Laz just paid for his!!!!!!!!!!!

They're going to have do something when Telewest/NTL become:

ive just emailed sky with a link to the telewest website lol , saying give me a free box or im crossing over to the darkside lol

nice try!

Thing is with Sky + you have to actually buy the box whereas with Telewest its only rented (meaning if anything went wrong we'd sort it for free) but if you dont have Sky insurance: £75 to come out and sort it

What the fuck would you do with your box once you left sky anyway they dont work with any other company except Sky - rip.

Freeview Digital HD if u leave sky

Sky+ boxes can pick up free to air digital signals off other satelites , altho the range that they can pick up isnt that great !!


@marc let me know wot its like when u get it , for the 1st time in over ten years i could be temted to cross over lol :evil:
