BT Vision - On Demand TV, Live Football, Moves, And No Dish!

BT Vision, the digital TV service from BT (British Telecom). When you sign up to BT Vision, you use the BT Vision set-top box to mix Freeview (40 channels of free digital TV received through your standard aerial) with on-demand content delivered through your BT broadband connection.

Why should you not just get a Freeview box that records to a hard drive for a higher one-off payment? Then you’re going to miss out on on-demand sport and movies that may not be available on Freeview for some time. Why not use another provider for my sport and movies (music too for that matter)?   Then you’re going to need to commit to a minimum contract just for those channels.

Propective customers of BT Vision, or indeed anyone that has BT broadband already, wil lfind it easy to switch to the digital service - as they can get the best commitment-free mix of TV possible, especially as they build up their library of past programmes, sports events, concerts etc.  Let’s face it, when it comes to day-to-day viewing Freeview has pretty much everything you need, and to be able to supplement that on either a pay-per-view basis or by minor adjustments in your monthly fee is a very flexible way to get digital TV.

By keeping the core viewing to Freeview through the aerial you’re not overusing your broadband on downloading, but it’s there for the other, say, 10% of your viewing when you need it.
