What is BT Vision?

BT Vision1 is a digital TV service available to new or existing BT Total Broadband customers. Freeview channels are included as standard2, as well as the Vision+ digital TV recorder which allows you to pause, rewind and record up to 80 hours of Freeview TV.

How much does it cost?

The Vision+ digital TV recorder is £45 when you take out a Value viewing pack for 12 months (from £7.50 a month for the first 3 months3).

Alternatively, you can pay £90 for the Vision+ box without having to take out a monthly subscription to a viewing pack. You can then simply 'pay-per-view' for any of the on demand programmes you watch with no commitment.
