BT Sport on Youview
I have tried to find the answer to my question via BT with no success, hopefully someone here will be able to answer.
I am thinking of moving to BT Infinity for by broadband and have a Humax Youview PVR. Will I get BT Sport on it without subscribing to BT TV? Thanks |

As has been said you need a BT TV Subscription to watch BT Sport on a Youview box.
I am assuming you bought your Youview+ box retail then if you are not already paying for BT TV?? If you have a retail box then there is a slight benefit in that you can sign up to BT TV Player Essential without an ongoing contractual commitment. £35 setup then £5 a month for BT Player Essential which also gives you BT Sport on the Youview box over Infinity if you have opted in. http://www.productsandservices.bt.co...on_FURL_player If you are in fact paying for BT TV already at £5 a month (in order to get the Youview+ box) then you will get BT Sport via Infinity if you have opted in. |

In fact, all of the IPTV/multicast channels on BT have far superior picture quality than their equivalents on Sky, including, so I'm told, Sky Sports and Movies. |

The picture quality of GOLD is amazing where compared to Sky and/or VirginMedia.

This is because they use the more modern h.264/AVC encoding instead of the old MPEG 2 encoding on the other platforms I mentioned, yet maintain a decent bit rate (~ 3 Mbps). You don't for example get the halo effect on moving objects such as players on a football pitch and compression artifacts in general are less visible (if you are near enough to the screen). |
