BT sport HD
Hi bit of an odd question but dose anyone know if BT sport HD has a better picture via sky digital or via bts you view box. We have sky and also ordered BT youview. Just wondering what to activate the sports on or can it be activated on both at the same time (guessing not considering it is free)
Thanks Ash |

Not sure about via Sky but the BT sport HD ad on the BT sports claims it's HD service has 5x more detail than Sky's own HD service and BT sport is also in 1080i.
Also its only £3 a month for the HD extra bolt on that includes BT sport in HD. The HD extra on BT Youview is well worth the extra £3 a month. Darren |

BT Sport HD via Youview is going to be roughly the same quality as BT Sport HD via Sky. The 5x more detail thing you saw is comparing BT Sport HD with BT Sport SD (on whatever platform).
So choose whichever is cheapest or suits you best and fits your long-term plans. If you have BT Infinity with a decent bandwidth (say over 25Mbps) you need have no fears about the quality of BT Sport via Youview, it should be at least as good as the satellite version. The SD version may even be better (than satellite SD). Just remember, you can't get Sky Sports on a BT Youview box at the moment, there's a big legal wrangle going on about it. |

I to am not to bothered about Sky Sports and only have BT sport as its free. I do like the HD extra bolt on. I also don't have the Sky Movies bolt on or the kids bolt on but have everything else. I'm pleased both Eurosport channels and Discovery got added to the HD extra bolt on the other week.

i will be having infinity option 2 it should all going well sync about 60Mb/s as this is what my other FTTC line syncs at, As i say too im not a massive sports fan at all its just that while they are giving it free i might as well activate it for f/f to watch while at mine, so the lack of sky sports really dose not fuss me one little bit lol

Don't forget that BT chop your Internet sync speed down by whatever Youview/Internet channels you are using at the time (8-10Mb/s for each HD channel, 4Mbps/channel for SD). Stop watching or recording Internet channels, and you get it all back again. That won't likely bother you but for anyone on a low fibre speed it's worth remembering.
Also considered setting a load balance up for multibthred downloads/uploads but that's going way off topic Ash |
