Interesting news from BT
Had an email today with some news about youviews bt service from youview update reads as
On May 8th BT published it's quarterly financial report. See: http://************/q86ozlr Slide 32 (BT TV - future plans) contains some interesting information: More third-party content and channel distribution deals New YouView shareholder agreement gives more control over roadmap New capabilities such as – multi-room – entry level YouView box – connected red button A member of the YouView forum ("Visionman") has found a transcript of the actual BT results speech from Gavin Patterson which provides some more detail: "In terms of what we are going to do, going forward, we will continue to broaden that proposition with channel partners and distribution deals. I am very pleased that we have signed a new shareholders’ agreement on YouView. And this gives much more control over the roadmap and allows us to continue to invest in the product itself. And you will see some of those coming through in this next quarter. So, we are launching multi-room this quarter. You will see that in the next few weeks. There will be a new entry level, YouView box later in the year and of course we will be the first platform to have the new BBC Red Button Services before the World Cup."

Instead we rely on forum members searching in fairly obscure sources, and an unofficial notification resource such as YouViewUpdate. |

No news on connected red button services?
Or a software update that will stop my box thinking it's disconnected every time it's been asleep for longer than a few hours? |
