Dropping BT TV Package

Options
I currently subscribe to BT for internet TV and sport. I want to drop the package as I only watch one internet TV channel and don't watch their sport. If I stopped paying for the package, would I lose all the internet TV channels?

    You'll lose all the channels supplied as part of that package.
    This assumes that you are out of minimum term.If not, you'll be charged an ETC.
    What device are you receiving these channels via?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    Yes you would. But you would still be able to use your YouView box to access the catch up TV players and record Freeview SD and HD channels.

    Which internet channel?


    You may be able to watch via PC linked to your TV?

  • I am using the BT view box supplied by them and am well out of the minimum period. Frankly, of all the internet channels, I only watch Gold and I suspect that I would still be able to get that. So I am going to cut it off and see what happens. I can always re-sign up again if it doesn't work out.

    I would be interested to hear confirmation of the channels you do receive after you drop the package.

    And the catch up TV and on demand players. All the internet channels supplied by BT would just disappear.

    Does anyone get a box that reboots regularly especially when your watching something good. Got to the point where I'm going to bin BT TV altogether.?

    Contact BT, they sent me a new box when I had an issue.
