Go for a model that gives you a weekly EPG and supports MPheg 5 (is that right?) as that will give you access to the interactive facilities like BBCi.
Also consider purchasing a model that has a CAM adapter, might be useful if you plan on purchasing a subscription service for the future (or maybe a p8rate card if and when they become available).
BTW Keep hold of your old NTL box, their worth a few bob especially if it's a Pace 1000 model...............also you never know if your new home has an existing NTL connection, you could consider making a viewing card yourself, only takes a bit of patience and the cost of a blank card and programmer, advice available here on the board.
