Hi all
In essence, this is a yes / no question... Can I watch live TV via BT
Vision if I have no TV signal?
From the research I've done, the answer is no. With no Freeview signal,
the BT Vision box is left with only "on demand" services. Whether this
extends to the live TV that is watchable via BBC iplayer I don't know but
presumably it means catch up services.
Essentially our new house is fine when the weather's good - both Freeview
and satellite are fine. But when the weather's bad - both signals are
either down or intermittent. In the "old days" - no problem - I'd switch
to ITV via cable TV. But now we're out of a cabled area, the only way I
could see to watch the Olympics yesterday during a thunderstorm was via the
web. Fine via PC but so far as I can tell - not all channels provide live
streams without the faff of logging in etc.
So I guess the other question is - is there an alternative to a Virginmedia
box if you're not in a VM area?
Cheers
Rob
