I got a BT TV box and as others said normal tele via aerial extra stuff via interweb
it also means you can get the red button extra which uses the web
and also as you flick back and forward through the guide you see some programmes with a little arrow in a circle (the standard 'Play' symbol) clicking this will launch one of the many catch up tv services so you can view those programmes
as much as anything I got this mainly because BT sport in SD on the website was shocking quality - almost 8 bit at times and it meant trying to hook up the pc to the tv all the time
I also have a PS4 with one of my brothers sky go log ins..
and amazon prime
pretty much all the TV you will ever need I reckon

Ta. So how does their HD quality compare to Freeview/Satellite? Can you record multiple things at once, etc? Any actual users out there able to comment?
Being totally dependent on internet for TV doesn't strike me as wonderful. And recording stuff on Sky's OnDemand service typically means shows delete themselves after a few days/weeks, rather than recording a how the old-fashioned way where you can keep it forever if you wish.
The Sky system of combining broadcast TV with IPTV seems quite neat.

How does BT TV work?
We're on Sky (it was free) but plan to leave (it's not going to be free and we barely watch it). We'll be left with a mini-dish and have a Freesat box but I was wondering about the BT offering since it gets some additional channels.
Is BT's TV service streaming/internet only or does it come through aerial/satellite? I thought I saw mention of YouView on their packages somewhere but got lost with so many different things on offer.
Live TV over the internet doesn't sound that great to me, after experience of NowTV... can anyone clue me up?Tags: None
