BTV on PlusNet, is it possible?

Obviously we all know that BTV needs BT BB and phone to connect. But is this possible for customers of BT's cheaper 'Plusnet' service?

I remember that when BT aquired PN, they said they would realise synergies of being able to use their network and deploy Home Hubs and other BT products to customers...so much for that!

Would have been nice to have a bit more rationale..even though its good to get some feedback from them.

Not possible?

Technically (surely not?)
Politically (maybe)
Commercially (probably)

so, why not possible..?

QoS maybe an issue but with the greatest respect, BT don't have that many customers to make it a massive issue.

Caveat any service with..there may be delays etc. or wait 5 ins before viewing.

Someone on PN FTC should have no issues...surely??

The whole point of Plusnet is that its a broadband service without bells & whistles. I'd define an IPTV service as one of those two, if not both.
