Ease The Pain of The Analogue to Digital Switchover With BT Vision Packages

With the digital television switchover meaning that analogue television will be completely obsolete by 2012, there’s never been a better time to start spending a little bit extra to take advantage of all the channels and services that various digital television providers offer, from movies and sport to entertainment and documentaries. With digital television, you get a better picture quality, more channels and more features, and BT Vision is just one of the many television providers competing for your custom.

There are two standalone BT Vision Packages available for customers to take advantage of, which can then be combined with other BT services like broadband access and phone line rental in order to save money otherwise spent on separate bills. The TV Essential deal and TV Unlimited deal both come with a free Vision+ digital box which gives you the ability to pause and rewind live television if you’re interrupted, as well as recording programmes you know you’re going to miss, either because you’re out or you’re watching something on a different channel.

Speaking of channels, the TV Essential package boasts seventy Freeview channels, BBC iPlayer and catch-up TV, with optional Sky Sports 1 and 2 and on-demand content from 50p per show; while the TV Unlimited package features the same free content with unrestricted access to great on-demand content for Kids, Films, TV, Sport and Music, and furthermore from free a ESPN channel and the optional Sky Sports.

Also available for BT Vision customers are a limited number of films in high-definition available through the BT Vision HD service - simply connect your HD television to the Vision+ box with an HDMI cable and enjoy ten new high-definition films added every month with greater picture detail and richer colour than ever before.

As previously discussed, the BT Vision packages are combinable with BT’s broadband and landline services, which ultimately saves you money because you don’t have to pay for three separate services. Each package is tailored for the needs of different customers, taking into account the amount of internet, landline and television likely to be used.

For instance, the TV Essential + Unlimited Broadband and Evening and Weekend Calls package is most suitable for those who live on the internet - it features an unlimited download limit, meaning that as much can be used as necessary while the basic TV and landline services are also included. There are also a number of other combination packages, such as TV Essential + Broadband and Anytime Calls, which are suitable for customers who might use the phone or television more than broadband.

Although it’s sad that analogue has to go, it’s all in the name of progress - everyone deserves the best that television has to offer! With the amount of great features on offer with the two packages, such as BT Vision HD, you’ll be in television heaven, and forget that analogue ever existed.
