All prices quoted are plus £16 line rental.

But don't order it online. Ring them up. Because there are many deals on offer atm. Hope you get sorted soon.

Thanks for that post visionman.
It's well helpful.

Just bear in mind that to get the BT TV channels you need to take BT Infinity, but you mentioned that fibre services are not available in your area so you may not be able to get them.


Have you re-checked this recently?


If you can't get BT Infinity then the BT Youview box will only be able to give you the Freeview channels available via an aerial (which does include BBC One HD & ITV HD), and catch up TV / BT On Demand films etc., but not the extra BT TV subscription channels listed by Visionman.

Silly me. I missed that, Colin. Thanks for the correction.

I checked to see if fibre was available yesterday. Openreach has done work on the Box at the bottom of our road but when ever I check to see online if fibre is available it just says coming in 2015.
All I really watch is bbc1 itv c5 etc
If I went with bt with the Youview box to get hd Freeview would I be able to add the kids channels to this?
Bt online chat rep said I would be able to.

Thanks

Also with the on demand service is the Youview box wireless ?
As my router is in my hallway and it wouldn't be possible to run a cable.
Thanks

All itv

Bt sport (free as we have bt bb)
cbeebies
5usa
film 4.
