BT TV

We have a YouView box from BT. Very pleased with it indeed. Very reasonable cost £5 extra on the phone bill each month. I suspect that there are more functions on it than I actually use but recording is v easy indeed and i- players are easy to access and use.

Jane, do you get ITV player (we don't get that on our Sony TV atm)

Yes. We seem to have all sorts of players. I only tend to use BBC, ITV and ch4 ones but there are others.

Just checked pompa, there are 10 i players on our You View box as well as hundreds of channels accessible in the usual way.

Last month we changed from Sky which had become too expensive, to BT, and are pleased. No bother.

We have BT - no problems there - I have added Netflix for more variety etc.

Thanks for all the responses, BT Tv it is then.

Nice to hear from you pompa. I was just wondering what had happened to you! Busy struggling with your TV!

My BtTv is due to be delivered tomorrow, can't wait.

Hope it does as promised! Good luck.

Very, very pleased with it, does everything I expected and more. Easy to use and reasonably intuitive. Excellent.

Phew! Glad to hear it.

One thing I find odd is that the instructions indicate that if you are recording two live programs, you cannot watch a third live. However I tried it and we were able to watch a third live.

10 day on, and I love BT TV, just does everything so well, keep finding new functions that ar really useful.

pompa can you get channels like Nat Geo and History on BT TV? I find Sky very expensive but we spend a lot of time watching this type of TV and would be upset to lose it. Though I wouldn't miss Aircrash Investigation, OH would be most cross.

Yes I can get both of those. here are the channels on the option I have, more or less are available depending on the option you choose.

I have the Entertainment Plus package which can record 300 hours. It costs £10 on top of my BTbroadband.

Oooh. Very flash pompa. We've only got the £5 package! Glad its working out for you. Don't know how you find the time to watch TV with all those U3A groups to get to!

I just love BT, their web site can't find my address but going on my post code it says I can't have Infinity. I actually had this installed by them last week 😳

Jane10, that's why we need the recorder, have to schedule TV into non U3A slots.
Tizliz, you won't have to pay the bill if they can't provide it.

pompa you missed the point, I am receiving infinity nicely. Just bt doesn't know it's ar**e from its elbow🙁

Tizliz Think pompa was being sarcastic! Hence his !!

Yes I was, sorry if my humour was a bit too subtle.

Sorry bit early in the morning, and my friend has just had a big battle to get money back from something BT could not provide. Should have realised that BT and sarcasm (sure that is not spelt right) would be in the same sentence 😀
