If/when BT's new iPTV/PVR tv on-demand service eventually
launches, users who sign up will receive a combined Freeview box, VoIP phone and a 160 GB PVR for just £100 and
no further obligations (other than running the service on a BT Broadband internet connection).The PVR will allow users to perform all of the standard PVR functions whilst viewing the 32 available Freeview channels, with other content available on a pay-per-view basis.
The fact that BT are taking so long to get their product on to the market, despite numerous announcements and press releases, doesn't bode too well for the potential for their iPTV product to get out of the starting blocks. As a BT spokesman has already commented 'Some details have to be worked out.'
Indeed.
