BT Vision launch 7-Day Catch Up Service for £3 a month
Friday, June 13th, 2008BBC iPlayer and 4oD come bundled gratis
BT Vision has introduced a monthly subscription for its previously free on-demand digital TV content.
BT Vision who want to make use of the 7-day catch up service now have to sign up for the new £3 a month Replay service for their IPTV demand/Freeview hybrid. However, the subscription also covers the 4oD and BBC iPlayer online services, allowing viewers to enjoy on-demand content on big, widescreens in the living room as opposed to grainy, pixellated flatscreen monitor displays.
Virgin Media, which also offers all its TV customers free catch up TV from the BBC and 4oD said it had no plans to start charging its customers for this content – bearing in mind that Virgin who already charge a premium for their souped-up cable service can probably afford to absorb the cost of on-demand downloads.
