No real concrete news, apart from the interface overhaul. I actually like the YouView layout, though I'm possibly in a minority there! Will be interesting to see how the redesign looks though.

Hopefully the promise of "many more apps" is kept. I think Amazon is the big one missing right now, and I'd expect YouTube to be a contender for addition aswell. Not surprised at all that there seems little to no chance of Sky's entertainment channels being added, but they're hardly a massive loss to BT. On the other hand, I'm still hoping Sky Sports 5 will get allowed to transition from Vision to YouView, even if it's SD only.

To a question (52 minutes in) concerning offering less bundling of different sports Delia Bushell (Managing Director of BT TV and BT Sport of BT Group plc) began her reply:

I found my self chuckling as I find the BT site dumbed down in a way that BT has made it difficult for themselves to explain what is on offer as clearly and simply as they could have done.

A few months ago an Amazon reviewer posted that it was already 6 moths behind the expected launch date. If that was the case then the current expectation would make it a year late. However, there are a few incorrect statements in that review and so it wouldn't surprise me if he had misunderstood the target launch date as well.

Link was a good read. Would like to see BT have its own entertainment channel. I have been enjoying Grays Anatomy on AMC HD. I know some will have seen most of it but some of Grays Anatomy that's on AMC I have not seen before.
For me I'm not to bothered if the Sky channels like Sky 1 and that dont come to BT for that would bump up the price of BT TV a bit more.
Now and again I do miss Fox no longer being on BT TV.

I have a NOWTV sub to cover Fox but don't really watch anything on it apart from Walking Dead.. I think the only other thing i watch on the Sky Family of channels is Modern Family on Sky One...
