TechDigest reports that Telewest have signed a deal with ITV for HD World Cup Coverage. I think this will mean that Sky will only have half of England’s games available in HD as the Beeb and ITV usually show half of the games each, and Sky only have a deal at the moment in [...]

Telewest TVdrive: My Views So Far
I finally got my Telewest TVdrive, which is Telewest’s answer to Sky+, installed last week. The actual installation took over 4 hours as the box kept resetting itself as soon as I tried to use any of the interactive functions or the actual TVdrive itself.
