At home, I have a BSkyB Sky+ PVR subsbscription, but I use NTL Telewest for my DSL internet connection, partly because it's faster, more reliable, and cheaper than the alternatives.Imagine how annoyed I was when BSkyB announced that it was offering free 2MB broadband with all basic Sky subscriptions?
Well, here's some news that made me happy: UK cable TV company NTL Telewest has decided to compete directly with BSkyB and BT by bundling some freebies with the rest of its digital services.
If you're a subscriber to any of Telewest's telephone packages, you can take advantage of a new offer to get free TV, which includes their TVDrive PVR/on-demand service.
Even if you don't want the full-on PVR, you can still get the basic TV package, which includes all of the 30+ Freeview channels, and access to Telewest's catch-up service, which allows users to watch programmes they've missed on a sort-of on-demand function.
