View Full Version : BT Vision - I Like
We had BT vision installed yesterday in replacement for sky.
It cost me £30.00 for the digi box and there is no contract. You can pause and rewind live telly. You can record programs on the 160gb hard drive. Its bloody fantastic.
You can pay a mothly fee of £14.00 per month (but you are not tied in for any time period) and you get all League football matches (prem, championship, leauge 1,2 etc etc) Loads of preloaded documenteries and wildlife stuff and on top of all that you have "on demand" this is the pay per veiw side. its really cool,
Anybody else got it ?????????
Ive still got a B&W TV. What more could you want?

Is this the thing that uses the broadband? I just looked at the website, says you can bin it after one month subscription, that true?

Yep totally true. pay one month, if you dont like it dont pay any more, simple.:D
And yes it uses your broadband

Thanks, just read the website as well. I dont think I will be taking up the offer though, as it states the box needs a phone socket installed near the TV. Since I had BT come and remove all the room sockets and rewire with a single master when I moved in 6 months ago, I dont want wires across walls again.

Maybe not 450 but who needs that.:rolleyes:
Ummm me !!!!!
I just signed upto sky ...all channels for £23 a month and it suits me fine.
We spent a fortune getting a digital arial with boosters etc for £300+ and we still got crap reception because of where we live (basically in a MASSIVE hole)

You need BT's broadband. Since I'm not going to change my broadband provider, as they're better than BT, I'll be forced to pass on this.

Broadband is broadband IMO. i get 8meg, unlimited use. Eve & Weekend calls free on landline, all call free over the broadband via the home hub, BT vision etc all for £25.00 per month including BT line rental.
Bargin IMO.
But as you say if you are happy and it aint broke then dont fix it
How is the actual service and reception quality though? I mean, they lay fibre optic cable for cable tv for a reason, how come suddenly a phone line and broadband is good enough?

It seems to be cool. watched telly last night and it was clear as hell. No difference to sky

Good, please forgive the overly cynical tone :)
How does it operate in conjunction with your internet connection? I can push my 8meg to the limit whilst downloading, so it surely doesn't operate in the same way because my tv reception would be knacked if I had them both going at the same time.

think im going to have to re-subscribe to sky, as its now totally not working, i was thinking of getting it fitted cheapest option, then cancellling thus getting all the free chanells

They say that the TV always leave 1mg for broadband. It only uses the broadband for the "on demand" stuff, otherwise it uses the areial like a digi box, so you shouldnt have a problem

No point in me looking if it requires a BT ADSL circuit as I can't get one because of the crap BT wire locally
