BT Vision to get high-performance make-over in 2009, but closes door on Freesat | Home Cinema Choice

From your Xbox 360, you'll also be able to access PVR content from a V-Box in another room.

I am afraid that they will require BT broadband and more strings attached.

Why so cool european commissioners that fined microsoft for not sharing code of Vista kernel with lousy european businesses are so silent? Why cant we just buy a movie and enjoy it? It is a 21st century after all!

It also requires a very close distance to your exchange, I tried to get bt vision earlier in the year and i was told that they didn't detect a broadband connection on our line and we needed broadband! I kindly informened them that we were paying them for broadband. Apparently are line is bad quality and has too many drops for btvision to work on.
