TVDRIVE - Free HD material?

can anyone post a full list of 'free' hd channels i will recieve when my tvdrive arrives next week... i have ordered the supreme package but it looks like if there is hd content then i will have to be 99p each time :o

if there isnt ANY free hd channels, what are the current 'active hd' channels available.

also i made my order online and it didnt give me any option of an hdmi cable...will they give me one anyway when the technician comes? if not what cable am i looking for to hook up to my sony 32v2000 (1xhdmi)

one more q !! i havent any telewest services at all in my house this is my first order with them. so any estimates on how long they usually take to install the tv service only?

many thanks in advance

For the moment you will have for free:

BBC HD channel
Teleport HD - The video on demand section which has various BBC shows on there.

You should have ITV HD when the world cup starts.

Unfortunately that is it for the moment

as for the HDMI, I beleive that on the online ordering section it asks you if you already have a HDready TV. If you didn't select it just give there customer services a call to make sure he brings one.


Installation wise I had the TVdrive fitted plus a second box fitted in the bedroom, the only problem that occurred was that my signal strength was poor (due to the 2 new connections spuring off the broadband) and they just went out and turned my strength up a few clicks. All in all it took about 2hrs 30 mins. As it is your first install they may take longer as they have got to first get into your house.
