Black Vision Box v Original Box

jonesyboy · 15-04-2010, 07:41

Has anybody used both the new black and original silver boxes? I would like to know how they compare in use.

The only thing I have seen is the new one does not have an RF modulator.

My contract time is up soon. I will be staying with BT. So no Sky stuff please. There is enough in another thread.

Thanks in advance.

I'm far as I'm aware the main difference is that the black box is a bit nippier in the menus due to a better processor. And of course it looks better.

If I were you I'd not get tied into a BTV contract until the new HD box is out - unless you're just talking about BT Broadband of course.

Dont forget it uses less power and I believe a bit smaller.

Good point about the HD box. Any idea how long before it is released. Or is that, an unknown entity.?

Everything is up for renewal/or not. as the case may be. That even includes my mobile phone.
