BT Sport through youview

Suarez
Suarez Posts: 970 Forumite
I currently have a youview box purchase from PC World. I have sky broadband.

I was to get BT Sport through the Youview box. I don't mind changing to BT Broadband but no one at BT seems to know if I can get it through the youview box. I can't get Infinity in my area and I can't follow the BT website at all!

One minute it says I need BT TV and the next it says it's free with Broadband!

Please help!!!:eek:

    Hi Suarez,

    If you bought your YouView box from a high street retailer and not directly from BT, then BT Sport is not currently available on your TV.

    Thanks

    Hi Suarez, BT Sport is not currently a retail channel that comes with YouView. It is a BT service that is provided for BT BB customers. Or it can be accessed via a Sky TV satellite box for a cost of £12 a month in SD or £15 in HD.

    Chromecast is a device you install in a hdmi slot on the TV you want , and using your phone/tablet anything you can watch on line on that device can also be viewed on the TV, or just on the TV...BT Sport app for IOS (iPhone/pad) works great, there is also an app for android.
    BT Sport can be viewed for free by BT Broadband customers, on line, on BTTV via BT infinity( BT Youview box) or via the Sky satellite system, or if BT isn't your ISP it's £12 or £15 on Sky

    Or if you already have an old satellite dish in place, you can access BT Sport via any old Sky box that will give you the Freesat from Sky channels. You just need to register the viewing card number with BT, the BT Sport channels will then be unencrypted.
