*****  Review by SimonP - 21 June 2008
I've had BT Vision a few weeks now. Only had to pay £30 connection fee (and sign up for extra 12? months). I only wanted it as a cheap PVR since we already have BT broadband. The day I got it, I tried the on-demand content and it kept halting. Now it works OK. Apparently, this is common. On other forums, people have been told by BT support that it takes up to 10 days to settle down. The EPG is downloaded via the hub, but isn't updated in real-time. If a programme overruns, it will mess up your recordings.

Read the review below, very confused as was told Vision had to be installed 9 days after my broadband! Have been up and running for 4 months now, loving it, ordered the TV pack for January as knew I would be in all month. Had no problems getting it or cancelling it. BT Staff very helpful, loving the recording!!
*****  Review by Phil - 22 February 2008
I'v had it about 1 month. I just went for the tv + replay. Was very easy to setup and start using. The ondemand content is good, loads to choose from. It's nice to have the BBC and C4 replay to hand. I'v watched the ondemand content now and then and have had no problems with it breaking up or stoping. I do know that BT need a min of 4mb downstream for btvision to start to work, I'm getting 7.8mb. Some people report streaming problem so i guess check that you have a min of 5-6 mb all in all not a bad service
