BT Vision Launched
BT Vision, BT’s IPTV service has been launched, a TV service that combines Freeview terrestrial broadcasts with on-demand content delivered over broadband. The viewer would be able to view over 80 Freeview channels along with on demand content via the broadband connections.
BT Vision is delivered through a new HD-ready set-top box which contains a personal video recorder able to store up to 80 hours of content as well as the ability to pause or rewind live TV and record programmes at the touch of a button.
