Cmon Beerhunter - Lets not go there eh ?

Well, you can't get multiroom, HD or as many channels on BTVision. I agree with you anyway - playing

I have a Sky+ including Links to 2 other rooms.

However as far cheeper alternative Bt Vision is excellent. With Sky losing some of the Footie, which will be available from Setanta through Vision Vision should increase its potential audience. The PVR is also easier to use than SKY. On Demand is great and puts to shame, Sky's Anytime TV.

Yes I accept that it has problems at the moment, but what new Technology doesn't.. Its nowhere near as bad as the misspelt nonsense written by Beerhunter. Sky+ when first released was far worse than BT Vision. Persistent lock ups etc. The main cause in Vision and previously Sky+ was trying to hurry with the remotes. Push the buttons too quick and they lock. Patience ia a virtue

Whether you pay for Vision or not is beside the point. Where can you get a Freeview PVR for

I got BTV without the install fee, I told the agent in error it said so on the website and he never corrected me. I had misread the box being free to include installation but got it anyway

I Got Vision installed last month and it's been a goodish experience so far had a few lock-ups but that tended to be when i was fiddling with the TV Settings. I have not missed a recording as of yet. I also got it installed free as the other 1/2 works for BT I have it connected via my netgear router and running at 720p on my TV. The on demand stuff is good and never had any problems when watching something.

I must admit i have become used to having it now esp for the series recordings as i have a habit of missing episodes.

done a force update to the new firmware and seems OK for the moment, so it gets a 8/10 for me now they only need to fix the HTTP issues and i will be happy with BTBB

At least you have not been offensive paulbeattie87.

However I do object to some saying that my post was nonsense. (Spell check must have been off an the time because I spelt three words wrong.)

I have had one of these boxes for a few month now and they are not reliable - it is that simple.

As to pressing the buttons too quickly this is supposed to be consumer product for goodness sake.

I am sorry but to vilify BT Vision as you did prompted me. Especially as some words were impossible to understand. All levels of knowledge post on this site and we all do typos.

From,advice on this site, BT, Sky, and my Own experience, most high tech consumer devices will have problems when they get confused by rapid button presses. Sky+: Mobile Phones: Games Consoles; TVs the list is endless.

Also as I said Sky+ was far worse when it was first released. In fact I would go on to say it is still more unreliable than BT Vision (This from the largest installer in the country.Not me)

Surely this is not just a negative forum. I you don't like it. Send it back.

I am impressed with BT Vision. Yes I have problems. The same as I do with the previously mentioned products. All I of which I use.

All is not sweetness and light though. I have had 5 months of BT Home Hub problems which I have persevered with. Even with all of BT's help/hindrance

Not long until the firmware, it was going to be earlier in the week but it got pulled at the last minute due to some minor issues.

Where do you get this from Paul? The firmware did update this week to 2019.

Hmm mine aint done it yet, that was from high level BT Vision support.

Forget that mine is updating as I type!
