Note that movies will take between 5-7 hours to download over Broadband – it’s not instant. When the HD on demand service was launched, HD content was limited to a small selection of movies in HD, but this is slowly improving. At the time of writing, prices are £4.95 for a blockbuster HD movie, or £2.95 for an older HD movie. It’s now possible to download HD content to your BT Vision boxes. You can get some HD content though, and that’s using the Vision On Demand service. The current BT Vision box doesn’t have the required circuits for Freeview HD, so you can’t watch the live Freeview HD channels using your Vision+ box
#BT HELP YOUVIEW TV#
To watch Freeview HD, you either need a Freeview HD TV set or a special Freeview HD box. That’s not the complete answer thoughįreeview is now broadcasting some of its channels in HD, notably BBC One, ITV and Channel 4 in HD. The BT Vision+ set-top box supports HD, and can connect to a High-Def TV set using the HDMI socket on the back of the box. Does the BT Vision+ box support Hi-definition?Ī. TV/video content that’s downloaded over the Internet will be chargeable – you can either pay per-item (programme, movie, sporting event, etc) with prices from 29p per item, or if you plan to watch lots of content, it may be cheaper to subscribe to a package. The Freeview channels are free-to-view on a BT Vision box. You don’t have to be a BT Vision subscriber, but you do need to be a BT Total Broadband customer.

#BT HELP YOUVIEW UPDATE#
It seems that the electronic programme guide is delivered to the box over Broadband, and with no Broadband, there’s no EPG.Īt the time of writing, there’s a note on the BT site that, in the future, BT will release a software update to enable their set-top boxes to work as dual-tuner Freeview recorders, even when they’re not connected to BT Broadband. According to the BT Vision website, at the moment, the Freeview and digital recording (DTR) functionality won’t work unless you are connected to a phone line that’s BT Broadband enabled. The service needs to make regular connections to the BT Vision server, and it’s a problem if the box can’t contact the Vision Server. Using the BT Vision+ box for recording TV shows from Freeview is free-of-charge as long as you remain a BT Total Broadband customer. If I cancel my BT Total Broadband account, or disconnect my BT Vision+ box from my Broadband line, can I still use the BT Vision+ box?Ī.
