BT Vision

How does it compare with HC?
A 40Gb/month 8mb/400k service is £26.99. Replay is £3
Install is £90.

Homechoice is 27.99 for 8mb unlimited base pack. Is install free?

Have I missed anything? BT offer football (should be interesting to see if Sentana strike a deal with HC) but all pretty underwhelming so far.

I look forward to the whiners leaving HC and joining BT. There is now a choice - make it.

Working Lunch were NOT impressed. Poor quality, complex pricing.

BT Vision is pointless if you have poor Freeview reception (which I do, ironically, despite being able to see CP transmitter from my living room window). Therefore, like it or not (and I don't mind it), I'm stuck with Homechoice.

Do you have an attenuator on your Ariel?

Well, actually, it's the channels that come from the Croydon transmitter (whcih includes, I think, QVC, etc.) which I can't get, even though I'm just at the bottom of Gipsy Hill. Don't know why not

Too strong a signal? Have you tried with an attenuator? cuts the signal strength down. Somebody else I knew had the same problem, he didn't need an aerial to receive a perfect picture.

“With an installed broadband user base of around 3 million, BT is presumably betting on the majority of them taking up Vision given its penetration targets. The minimum requirement for Vision now is a 2 Meg line, available to 90 per cent of the population according to BT. The Vision play is more complex than a simple attack on Sky and NTL's pay TV stranglehold; it's about winning and retaining broadband punters too.”

2mb? must be mpeg4 then, no?

There's now a dedicated BT Vision forum under the 'Terrestrial' section.
