It's not exactly the same as having a PVR, but on-demand content via your cable TV service is pretty much as close as you'll get to "personal" video recording.Here in the UK, NTL/Telewest has been offering on-demand content from the BBC, and other broadcasters, for quite some time via a fairly easy-to-use catch-up service.
The company has now added UK broadcaster Channel Four to the mix, as part of a three-year deal which will include classic shows like Shameless, Queer As Folk, Drop The Dead Donkey and the highly-popular Jamie's School Dinners.
Of course, it'll also include a catch-up service for Channel Four's regular, popular shows like Hollyoakes and Deal or No Deal, but it's certainly something to add to the mix if you're considering getting cable over satellite.
