Bt Vision + Box Vs Bt You View Box HELP!

nikiyoung

Hi Guys
I'm sorry if posting in the wrong place.
I'm a bit confused (doesn't take much)
On the Bt website it offers you 2 boxes the Bt Vision + Box and the Bt Youview box - but I can work out which one is best for us.
We have Infinity and we aren't bothered by the football but we want the Motorbikes on TV
Bt's website is very round and round in circles and not telling you what channels you get on which box.
Anyone able to give me a heads up? Please
Thanks in advance
Niki

The BT Vision service is essentially Freeview with some limited on-demand content-it's not a substitute for a payable subscription TV service. YouView simply integrates the on-demand facilities for the 4 main channels into the Freeview EPG-it doesn't give you any additional channels in itself.
What channel do you mean by 'motorbikes on TV'?

The Moto GP which Bt have just got the rights to
So not much in it?

I am moving in a few weeks and want to move over to BT to save some money but I am torn between the two boxes I have read on various websites that the extra channel you get with the vision box, they will be available soon with the youview box, does anyone have any incling or idea what is happening in the way of moving channels over to the youview box?
I don't want to chose the vision box then in a couple of months have to replace it with the youview box.

No strictly true - you can subscribe for £7/month to additional channels delivered over Broadband, includes Discovery, Nat Geographic, Gold, Comedy.

There are the new BT sport channels coming in August, free to BT BB stubs, or £12, if not. Available on most platforms. FWIW, I'd go YouView.

So as I said, the additional channels don't come as standard with the basic subscription. You can get all the same basic channels without paying BT a bean, just by purchasing the Humax box yourself.

FWIW
BT Sport HD 1 Sky channel 413,
BT Sport HD 1 Sky channel 414.

Promos running at the mo.

So is there a list of what you get on one and what you get on another anywhere?
Thanks
