Ok, well that's not a problem, I'll just decide whether to go back to BT or not after speaking to 'retentions' as long as there are definately no drawbacks (besides it being NTL)

I could do that, I was just wondering if there was any point. I've only ever seen the '3 months 1/2 price' which is sometimes 4 months.

Care to expand on that? I've been there a few times, mainly to discuss my Freeview PVR. Always seemed quite civil...? Are you talking about the 'social' threads?

I assume you're talking about a box I might get as a replacement for the multiroom. Which are the good ones then? Do you know where the best place to get them is? Ebay? Maybe I could get a cool 'modded' one with 500GB hard drive or something?

Hmmm... so you could have a cable trailing from you satellite/junction box to your next door neighbours TV, but not a cable connected from your phone line? If you're going to do one, surely the other is no trouble.
Anyway, I'll just have to pit up with the whole evil Big Brother Rupert Murdoch **** thing.
