    Sounds like divine retribution for watching BB in favour of Top Gear. Jeremy told everyone NOT to! :)

    Yes Thanks for that, I realised after I had posted.

    I had some trouble a while ago but since putting a larger drive in its been trouble free.....Almost.

    Serves me right for watching BB though.

    I think you mean Telewest TV Drive! :D Mind you next month I presume it will be a Virgin TV Drive.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    Its just been released! They're not advertising either. Ring 150 and ask to order the NTL TV Drive. Extra £10 a month and £25 installation..

    And wow its amazing! :)

    I need one foreign language channel on NTL (which happens to be free on Sky) and the NTL TV Drive would have been ideal. But NOT willing to pay £8/month for just this one channel to NTL.
