Used BT Vision Box.
I do not have BT or Talk Talk broadband. I have been offered a BT Vision box but I don`t know what it will do. Is it a freeview recorder type box that will allow me to connect to the internet and watch, say, BBC iPlayer, ITV player etc ? Apologies in advance if I appear less than technical, thats because I am. Thanks.

In a word --No.
It's like the one I have ---- nice door stop . If it is cheap you can flog the remote,also end up with a nice hard drive and power supply. Regards |

Thanks for taking the trouble to reply, much appreciated. From what you say, I`ll give it a miss. However, if you know of a box along the lines of that Now TV, I`m looking for something that can effectively turn a standard LCD TV into a Smart TV. Does such a device exist ?

Came across this from ProDave a while ago ...
Quote:"I bought one from ebay for 99p and £6 postage as an educational purchase. I can confirm it does nothing, just hangs at the boot screen and eventually tells you to phone BT. So I sold the remote control on ebay for £4.99 meaning that for £2 I got a 160Gb IDE drive (which I have used re resurrect an old freeview PVR I had in the workshop) and a power supply board that may come in useful for something. The rest, sadly is junk." The hard drive had some use ........ Regards |
