BT starts charging users of its television service for viewing on-demand BBC content
June 13, 2008BT has started charging users of its television service who wish to view on-demand BBC content. Previously BT Vision users could view programmes such as EastEnders for free, but now they need to sign up to the £3-a-month television Replay subscription to watch them.
The on-demand programmes that are available through BT Vision can also be accessed online through the BBC’s iPlayer. A BT spokesman states that its customers have only been able to watch BBC on-demand content up until now owing to some ‘technical issues’. BT Vision had never highlighted this particular benefit in its marketing materials, he pointed out.
On-demand content of Channel 4 that can also be viewed online has formed a part of the TV Replay package for quite some time. The BBC programmes, comprising hit shows, such as The Apprentice, get delivered in high quality over the BT Vision on-demand platform, according to the spokesman who added:
Customers are, of course, able to view BBC shows for free on their PC or laptop in lesser quality on the BBC player as they do in the usual way.
