BT TV
on: September 11, 2014, 16:07:04 PM
My new house is in a non-Virgin area leaving my with Sky as the obvious TV option and BT ans the fastest broadband provider.

If I want everything with sky (family TV, multiroom, fibre broadband, cheapest phone) it will come to £96 per month after the introductory rate ends.

BT for the same offer (with fewer channels but more sport and double the internet speed) comes to £45pm, plus £260 Top cash back and a £150 sainsburys voucher.

There's no way I could resist that price difference to I signed up last night. I'm getting 2 YouView boxes and the 70mb/20mb fibre from them in a few weeks time.

Anyone got any experience?

i have the full SD package BT Vision package.

Its ok - some decent on demand content providing you get the full package. The menu system isn't great - bit slow to respond but then again I've only ever found Sky to get this right.

BT Sport is good though - BT have put a lot of investment in to it and have some really great content and exclusives.

I actually can't believe people still pay for Sky/Virgin unless they want sports and film channels, Freeview offers 90% of it and there are plenty enough decent set top boxes offering pause/rewind/recording. Are they really offering that much more these days?

I have the 2014 Bt tv box - can't say have been anything but impressed.

Search functionality is nice,  record all good, performance all good. I use now TV movie subscription rather than sky movies as prefer on demand options.

I have BT Youview, its perfectly usable. The search feature is very good and the internet is perfectly usable.

My box started giving me grief and they came and replaced it within a week. Decent enough customer service then too.

Any idea why they only allow a max of 2 boxes? I'm probably going to buy another 2 freeview boxes of some description of bedrooms but it would be nice to have them all with the extra channels.
