youview from bt

spaceman05 · 20-09-2012, 16:46

just had an email from bt as i registered my interest for youview with them, the youview service starts on 26th october, but if like me you registered your interest, you can get it a week early on october 19th, it says you get a yoyview box worth £299 free when you subscribe for bt vision for as little as £4 a month, so seems like the pricing is staying the same as now, also says you get 4 hd channels so must be a hd box, i left bt vision when i moved home a couple of months ago, so may sign up for this, as i really miss bt vision now i aint got it

Yes, me too. We will have to await their follow-up email though before we can sign up.

BT Vision prices are the same yes, but will of course increase on January 1st!

Pre-registered launch date: 16 October
Official launch date: 26 October
12 month contract @ £4/month increasing to £5 on Jan 1st.

£49 activation fee
£6.95 delivery
£58 subscription in year 1 contract
-----------------
£114 total cost to try this out for a year.
===========

£252 potential saving on basic Sky subscription (which I can now cancel).

£138 profit on the deal = bargain.

HOWEVER

The BT Press release also says:

"*** ... Existing customers will need to be out of their minimum term"

...but does not say whether that means existing BT Vision customers or existing BT broadband/Infinity customers. If the latter, I will not be pleased as there is no existing box issue. It would also indicate an expected severe supply shortage of boxes so they are using this initially mainly to attract new broadband/Infinity customers.
