Reported Big Changes At BT TV. Anyone Know About Them?

Ninco49

Hi,

I am a BT TV customer. A while ago, I deleted the BT Film bolt on as I was not planning on using it for a while. Today, I decided to re-add it as I was going to start using it again. When I logged on to BT's web site, the option was no longer there even though my set top box clearly showed it as being available. I phoned them in the hope that they would add it for me and they told me that it had intentionally taken it off the web site as there are going to be some big changes to BT TV on 14th November. He said that he was not allowed to tell me anything about those changes, but I should leave my request to make any changes until then. I am just wondering if anyone has heard what these changes are? I know nothing has been released officially, but I am sure there will be rumours flying around somewhere. Thanks.

I believe that the only information that has been confirmed to date is that BT will be adding Netflix to BT Youview boxes:

Customers will be able to add Netflix to their existing TV Entertainment package deal for an additional £5.99 a month. ....

As above BT have said they are doing a deal with Netflix .

I would read nothing into that Netflix £6.99 a mth line until its announced.

There are to be a raft of TV package realignments shortly, as evidenced by BT's new BT TV tarriff guide, and the introduction of a new YouView zapper box.

But where this topic is concerned, basically the Film and TV box sets have been withdrawn for new customers and so are no longer available.

Oh, and the relevant stuff for BT TV starts on page 37.
