BT Vision - Multi-room

GingerWarrior

Does BT Vision have a multi-room option?

We don't have a Sky contract anymore (but both Sky boxes show the FTA channels), so am looking for something that we can record on - and if possible multi-room!

no multi room , if memory serves me right its one box per hub

easier to just buy a freeview recorder ( or several )

Unfortunately our TV aerial isn't that good, and we can't get a lot of the freeview channels due to that

BT vision is just a glorified Freeview box , so it will not provide you with any extra channels purely their catalog of online content and just recently BBCi Player on channel 990

The extra content is downloaded to view. It can be moved from room to room using the Powerline adapters in the box.

But is it right that Freeview is taken from the TV aerial?

Yes. What you need if you have both Sky boxes working is to replace them with freesat+ boxes - you will have most of the channels you get at present with the Sky boxes (although not all of them will be on the EPG and you will lose 9 or 10 channels that require either your cancelled subscription cards take your card out to see whether the channels you like are still viewable) but will get subscription free recording.
