BT Vision Box £9.97

If not connected to a BT Broadband line then you will not be able to record anything or watch any on demand.

If you have BT Broadband, then this is a good PVR with the added bonus of being able to pay for on-demand films/shows as you go.

I repeat that there is no compulsory subscription charges.

depends what you use. you can pay monthly subscription for the 'on-demand' bit which requires bt broadband, or you can pay as you go for each programme.

I think the digital box bit prob doesn't need bt broadband and there is no monthly subscription as its basically a digital freeveiw box where you can pause, rewind and record live tv.

I think...

The box is useless without a BT Broadband account. However, if you have BT B then I would say it is the best PVR out there, has been so much more reliable than Sky+ was. You definatly don't need a subscription for the PVR functions, only for the various viewing packs or you can pay as you go.

I got mine when they were offering £70 cash back through Quidco.

if someone gets BT broadband and pays £17.99 a month for it should they not get this with it?

BT called me today offering me a free BT Vision box. when i asked if it would result in me paying more than i did already the guy said maybe. When i told him i was just managing to pay my bills as it was he replied "oh ok then, never mind thanks for your time".

So, by him cutting the call short i imagine whatever it is for it isnt free.

yeah! what s/he said. and ull get access to ur standard freeview channels (provided you have a tv aerial) and if you have channel 5 on your terrestrial then you can subscribe for setanta sports 1 with bt vision aswell.

you will only need bt broadband if you want the on demand content. like films/music/kids/ general tv programs.


but too late offer discontinued.

Unless you rip the 160GB hard drive out of it. That's worth more than a tenner on it own :T

I can't imagine why it would have cost you more per month. Sometimes the deals they offer *may* have a 1 month sub attached to it (that was what I was committed to when I joined) but that would be as little as £3. As has been said before......there is definately no ongoing committment.
