Guest's review of BT Vision V Box

“You get what you pay for in subscription TV”

★★☆☆☆

written by on 15/09/2013

I had been with Sky for around 15 years and in that time the service got better and better but the cost got higher and higher. Sky customer service was always very good but I felt that the cost was becoming prohibitive. I looked at Virgin Media and BT and concluded that BT would be by far the cheaper option. From paying nearly £80 a month for Sky, then £42 for BT line + infinity, I could receive an entire service for less than £60.
That said, you can understand why the disparity in cost. Sky is all singing all dancing, BT is an invalid in comparison.
There is a very limited quantity of channels, the free films seem to be all disney back catalogue from the 80's and 90's (and not the classic Disney films either)! HD has sound issues with interruptions or loss of sound throughout the programme.
I not rent Netflix at £5.99 a month to supplement the service and am still pocketing savings of £60 a month.
In conclusion, if you are not really into Sport or Movies and are happy to be one step up from Freeview, then BT is to be considered. If not, do not touch the service with a barge-pole!
