Would Sky Really Remove Its Channels From ntl:Telewest?
I just read a story on Tech Digest that frankly stunned me. According to Media Digest, Sky is planning on removing it’s own channels (Sky One, Sky News, Sky Sports etc.) from its cable rival. If they did do this it would be a very bold move in the growing war between BSkyB and ntl:Telewest [...]

Telewest Inheriting ntl’s Bad Customer Service - Bodged TVDrive
I was fuming this afternoon when I got home. My plasma TV had a message on it saying that my Telewest TV Drive was updating, and that I wasn’t to switch off my set-top box while the update was going through. Telewest obviously hadn’t thought through the fact that remotely turning on the TVDrive set-top [...]

Competition: CustomPC Will Overclock Your Machine
Three lucky readers of CustomPC will get their PCs tweaked and overclocked by their resident overclocking aficionados, Gareth Ogden and James Gorbold. In addition, any upgrades will be thrown in for free so expect some goodies if you’re the lucky winner.

BSkyB Buys 17.9% Of ITV for £940m
Seems like iTV was talking to BSkyB as well as ntl, as BSkyB yesterday bought 17.9% of ITV for £940m. I think they’ve overpaid as ITV has been in the doldrums recently and I think things are only going to get worse, but BSkyB said that they believed that ITV had ’substantial potential for long-term’ [...]

ntl:Telewest To Merge With ITV?
I read an interesting report today that claimed that ntl:Telewest are considering a merger with ITV to try and combat its weakness in content, which has always been a major weakness of UK cable, to strengthen its defence against Sky who are now threatening its broadband business.
I don’t know how realistic this rumour is, but [...]
I Should Be Able To Get My Hands On A Few Playstation 3s - Want One?
Last year when the Xbox 360 came out, thanks to my UK ECommerce contacts I was able to get my hands on about a dozen consoles. Dollarman (who was my partner in crime on PGR3 - If you’re a serious Gotham racer you’ll know him), who was one of the lucky recipients, has just [...]

Hauppauge Nova-T 500 MCE TV Card Has Amazing Picture Quality
I’ve recently left ntl:Telewest and sometime soon I’m going to lose my free Digital TV service, so I had a quick look at the latest offers from ntl:Telewest and Sky to see who was offering the best deal.
I was on the verge of plumping for ntl:Telewest because it was cheaper, even though Sky has a [...]
BBC HD World Cup Footage Is Amazing
I finally got my Telewest TVDrive fixed yesterday (the HDMI signal had died) and whilst my TVDrive was out of action the BBC HD and ITV HD channels had been added to the lineup. On the BBC HD channel there is a rolling demo of shows that will be broadcast, as well as a [...]

Virgin Mobile Reject Ntl Offer
As expected Virgin Mobile have rejected ntl’s offer as too low, despite majority shareholder Richard Branson backing the deal. Richard Branson said that he was 90% certain that the deal will get done.
I really hope so. As an employee of one of the cable companies I can’t tell you how excited this potential [...]
