If it is QVC Active then it should be launched by pressing the red button from the QVC Channel, I'll go and check now.

I think walled garden is better, i mean you have a computer anyway for normal surfing. At least we can be reassured by walled garden services that the services are designed for tv display, you cannot get more secure when purchasing, and you can't get problems like viruses. Besides I'm sure there is something which allows normal internet on your t.v., can't remember what though. As well as e-mail, they should bring in a chat tool like msn messenger

Beacuse it's part of the TV Internet section and has the mini tv and ntl: banner, then it's not eTV. So is it really QVC Active? I don't know, however before you were unable to order through the walled garden garden service, so if you can now then I guess it is kind of Active. Sky have an extra video stream now with TSV on don't they? I'm sure it will be good enough through when it eventually works.

Does anyone have any idea when the My ntl: home application will launch? The existing Channel ntl: application has been updated, but it would be nice to have something new that fits in with the look of the channel, with the my (ntl home logo
