![]() ![]() we will be closing our first generation TV service in the first quarter of 2014/15," BT said. "We launched a smaller, sleeker and more power efficient version of the YouView set top box. The Sports, Kids and Extra subscription channels will be moved up from the. Unfortunately Sky Sports 5 isn't on BT YouView, it being added to the line-up would be a major factor in me subscribing as its currently the SS channel that broadcasts most of the WWE content and also, I believe, some Spanish football. Upgrades go ahead.īT's upgrades this month show that the provider is still committed to YouView, even with the Sky factor, however.īT announced their intention to bring all their customers on to YouView in their most recent end of year results. BT will move subscription channels like Sky Sports around on both the YouView and Vision programme guides next month. Morning all, Just doing my usual gathering of research and opinions before I commit to buying something Moving house shortly and unfortunately there is no line at all for Virgin Media which is a huge bummer, so for what I want I'm left with two options and that's the usual BT or Sky I want. Today, that box is out, replaced with the BT TV Box Pro. "Sky's refusal to offer access to on reasonable terms causes serious harm to consumers and must be resolved urgently," BT said earlier this year. One of the problems with the existing BT TV service was its reliance on the rather ugly and ageing BT YouView+ Ultra HD box. After fast growth and despite a price hike, the provider has have about five million BT Sport subscribers and 60% of those also take BT broadband. Sports channels are increasingly important for BT. I have said all this already and also 'No' the NowTV recording functionality is coming to the T2100 and T4000 (probably before the new box is even released).Until a deal is agreed, BT's YouView dream will be kept in check: BT customers taking Sky Sports have to take a Vision+ box, a significant disincentive for new customers, as well as plain confusing. No, that picture is of the T4000 or G5 as some people call it, the same as the T1000 was known as the H3 and the T2100 is known as the G4. You can also get all 11 Sky Movie channels on BT for an extra 16 a month. BT also has BT box office pay per via films. I’m also wondering if the new STB will be offered to existing customers ? BT also have the BT player with BT Film/TV box set bolt on at an extra 5. Whether you want to watch on a smartphone or a big screen, BT TV App Extra. I wonder if this is where the Now TV recording capability will come from I.e. The Sky Signature pack, described more simply on Skys website as just Sky TV. Is the G5 not a different box from the DTR T 4000 ? Yes full NowTV will be coming to both the T4000 (G5) and T2100 (G4) ![]() Instead, BT has taken YouView as its base and updated it. I’m looking forward to seeing what it’s like and will FULL now tv still be come to the T4000 ? A sleeker, curved box (32 x 335 x 127mm), it looks far more modern, with more in common with Sky Q than the BT box of old. BT already offers a digital TV service, BT Vision The key differences are as follows: BT Vision doesn’t offer Freeview HD (But YouView from BT does) YouView from BT doesn’t yet offer Sky Sports (but BT Vision does) For a full summary of the differences, see our comparison table here: BT Vision vs. One thing I'd like to add, it's a darn sight better than the very reliable T4000 boxes, and works a treatĮm, am I reading into this too much of I'm thinking NowTv channels etc will launch at the time of the new box?Īnd is this definitely going to be YouView ? According to Broadcasters Audience Research Board. As previously reported, BT’s deal with Sky means that NOW TV is also coming to the new box and we understand there are plans to potentially include Britbox and Disney+ when they launch (or possibly a little later). The main difference is that Now TV is fully integrated into BT YouView packages while TalkTalk YouView customers pay a set amount of 4 per month and add Now TV memberships on separately. However, this still doesnt seem to stop people choosing an expensive TV subscription like Sky, Virgin or BT. and in the future a new content sharing feature via app to a second box. On top of that BT will also add a Bluetooth remote control, integration with Amazon / Netflix / YouTube etc. Crucially though they’ve also added the ability to connect the box via WiFi (a very long overdue but welcome feature) and you’ll still be able to record two channels while watching a third. Personally BTTV and Match of the Day suits me cost wise. (Now TV will give you 720p near HD quality). You could stick with BT Sport and Match of the Day for the Premiere League as a compromise, or BTTV adding Sky Sports Main Event HD, or BTTV and Now TV. The new box will include support for 4K and HDR video content, as well as Dolby Atmos sound. If your aim is to save money, and you're a footy fan, then Sky has to be involved somewhere. The good news is that BT appears to be gearing up for a relaunch of their Pay TV platform, which will take place around early 2020 (likely to be officially announced around December 2019) and this will be complemented by a new STB. ![]()
