The Anonymous Widower

BT Vision

I have just installed BT Vision.

It seems to work well and I’m just watching the cricket on Sky Sports 1.

Technically, I like the concept of watching most things free through Freeview and getting other things from broadband or by unlocking channels on Freeview.  I think it is a concept that will grow like Topsy.

I know too, that I’m paying a lot less than I did for a poor service from Virgin.

A few points of comparison.

1. I have Freeview television in my bedroom, so now I have the same channel numbers in my living room and my bedroom. I didn’t with Sky or with Virgin.
2. Picture quality is good, but I have just fitted a new aerial.
3. All the features like stop the picture and then contunue are there.  Virgin may have had them, but I never found out how to use them. The designer of the Virgin box, was probably a games-optimised person, who didn’t understand logical system design for those who don’t and never will play games.

I’ll add to this list as time goes on.  But I’m not regretting moving away from Virgin.
