BT TV platform explainedīT has been bundle Netflix into your TV packages since last year, shortly after launching its 4K BT TV Box Pro. independent flow box, Y Virgin Media Stream Box – which also allow you to stream Freeview channels over broadband. This makes the BT bundle a tempting deal for those who can’t use an antenna (due to poor reception), and it competes directly with the upcoming Sky bundle. The BT TV Box Pro, which you get as part of this package (as a loan, you don’t have the set-top box), recently was updated with a new ‘Internet Mode’ – which finally allows you to see some DTT channels without antenna. The offer is available to both new and existing BT customers (with a few caveats), but is only available until November 3so customers should hurry up and check if it’s a good deal for them check out our detailed review below. Once the three months are up, you’ll still get the same BT TV Entertainment price (£6/m) until your contract ends, but the cost of broadband will go up to your normal rate.
BT YOUVIEW VS SKY FREE
There’s also free setup (regular price is £29.99) This means you’ll get broadband (various plans and speeds are available), Netflix, NOW and Freeview Recorder, for just £6 a month. However, for a limited time, BT offers the same package for just £6/month – with a 24-month contract – for new and existing BT Broadband customers.Īnd this time, BT is sweetening the deal even further, with three months of free BT Broadband. The TV package includes a subscription to two popular streaming services, along with BT’s YouView 4K recording box, which also lets you watch Freeview without an antenna.īT’s entertainment package offers the ‘basics’ Netflix subscription, Sky’s NOW entertainment membership and the 4K Pro box, and it normally costs £17/month. Now I do not know if the best solution would be BT or stay with sky for the phone line and broadband and buy a BT box off eBay.To be honest if you are looking to go with bt for TV you are better off going with bt for everything (especially of you are looking at fibre which gives you better options for bttv also).BT TV, the TV platform that BT offers to its broadband customers, is bringing back what has arguably been its best TV offering this year, but this time there’s also a new broadband offering. Now I do not know if the best solution would be BT or stay with sky for the phone line and broadband and buy a BT box off eBay. If can live without the sky channels, so that is not a showstopper. This would not make any difference all the providers charge an extra tenner for the fiber. But BT does not have the sky channels.Īlso, fiber optic comes next month to the area I live. Honestly, I heard so many bad opinions about TT, and also, I understand, the BT box is way better, I was thinking on switching to BT. I ended up browsing the internet and learned, that TAlkTalk and BT provide with youview boxes which would give me hd channels and the recording feature. I also would miss the recording feature I used to with my sky box. Also, as I understand, the now TV box does not give you hd channels.

The problem with this is that my tv has a freeview tuner, but not the hd version. My first idea was to cancel the tv, purchase a now TV box and pay £4.99 for the sky channels.

Ok, so I am with sky at the moment, and fed up with paying close to £60 a month for the package.
