That initial cost is lower than it used to be, but it's still over a tenner more than Sky charges - so we still think that BT is missing a trick here and that free activation would be the way to go, even if the postage continued to be £10.

Indeed, you could run BT's TV subscription packages with just the set-top box - an elongated black pill-shape box (that measures approximately 34cm x 14cm x 4cm, minus the cable protrusions to the back) which arrives in the post as part of your £29.99 activation fees.

And the Box Pro just hammers home that it's now easily competitive to Sky's offering too.
Those who don't have an active investment in sports, however, can go simpler in building their own alternatives: a Freeview signal, for free, paired with a Netflix subscription (£13.99pm), will get you plenty of high-end entertainment without the long-term subscription costs to worry about here.īut if you want the full-fat ability to record all your favourite shows in top quality, along with access to channels that are out of reach for even Netflix and Amazon, then BT TV is undoubtedly one of the premiere services in the UK.
Sports is the key player, really, with all of Sky Sports HD and BT Sports HD available in the top BT VIP package, along with 4K HDR support on BT Sport Ultimate (channel 465), meaning you'll never miss any typical Premier League broadcast, F1 race, golf championship, or plenty more besides. There is access to a lot of great content, too. The 2021 BT TV Box Pro is also now in line with Sky's entry package in terms of storage (at 1TB), and we much prefer that you avoid the need for a dish on the side of your house - this new set-top box is largely broadband dependent, using Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection for the best quality.Īnd when we say best quality we really mean it: with 4K (UHD) high dynamic range (HDR) support - including Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos - the sources this box can potentially provide just ooze quality when watched on a high-level TV (such as the Panasonic OLED shown in this review). But it's more or less in line with Sky Q in that regard - and if you want quality then, ultimately, you've got to pay for it. There's no getting around the fact that BT TV's ongoing cost isn't small.
