    NTL/General Cable TV Question

    you can get pre-chipped boxes for telewest/ntl easily. probably no ebay, but there still around. providing you have a cable coming into your house from telewest/ntl, you just plug and go. if you have the net, etc, just split the incoming line and take 1 to the cable and 1 to the TV. and your done.

    eBay feedback -RANT-

    when i sell stuff i always leave feedback once payment has been received. thats how it should be. after all, the buyer has then completed their part of the deal by paying. once left a seller neutral due to the fact that he claim to send it within 2 days and it was actually powted 6 days later...
