The biggest change to BT Vision is that it now has one of the best EPGs on the market, one of the best PVRs and the best catch-up TV services.
BT will optionally provide you with a set of PowerLine networking adaptors, so make sure you ask when you order if you need them. On-demand TV requires an internet connection, and the Humax DTR-T1000 has a 100Mbit/s Ethernet port on the rear, which you have to use, as there's currently no support for USB Wi-Fi dongles. You'll need to use the Ethernet port, as there's no Wi-Fi support Technically, then, you could take the PVR and use it on any internet connection and, crucially, the box doesn't become useless if you decide to switch broadband suppliers and want to keep using it.
With BT YouView you get the excellent Humax DTR-T1000, which isn't locked to a particular internet connection. With the old BT Vision, you could only use the PVR and on-demand features while the box was connected to a BT broadband connection. The difference in the new system compared to the old is apparent from the get go. It would have been seen as an odd move a few years ago, but now feels refreshingly open and a lot less restrictive giving consumers more choice over what they want to watch. This means that BT hands over control for its PVR and what can appear on it.
BT YOUVIEW REVIEWS UPGRADE
With the upgrade to BT YouView, the service is a whole new proposition, with the best catch-up services, BT Vision on-demand programming and, perhaps surprisingly, the option to add new subscription services, such as Sky's Now TV.Ī large part of the change comes from BT's decision to move to YouView, rather than keeping its own platform. With BT Vision the company managed to create a decent on-demand platform, backed up by a slightly average PVR that only supported standard definition channels.
